Project Selyo, founded by homegrown Adamsonians Mark Hugh Neri, Ranniel Banzon, Ray Tristan Publeo, and John Paul Pabelico, received the first prize and garnered the Student Impact Award, flexing brilliance in pitching their project that develops Near Field Communication (NFC)-powered IDs for events, to help gain insights from the behaviors attendees, and records all interactions, engagements, and experience on-chain.
Through this project, the team aimed to provide solutions to event organizers for seamlessly managing events by gathering real-time data from event attendees.

Meanwhile, Pabelico also pitched his project Candy Blinks, which received the third prize. Candy Blinks is a platform that simplifies the creation and sharing of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) without coding. Instead of building a new minting app for every campaign, users can deploy NFTs quickly with just a few clicks, saving time and money.
The Solana Radar Hackathon is a global competition organized by the ColosseumOrg, aiming to bring together developers and founders around the globe to build solutions that utilize the Solana ecosystem.
