The winners of the Gaps in Dapps Challenge have been announced!
If you recall, we mentioned earlier on that these ideas would be shared with you partway through the challenge, in case anyone needed a spurt of inspiration or was looking to team up with someone who has a bold vision.
Furthermore, to reward collaboration among the community, if you decide to proceed with any of the Gaps in Dapps ideas below and then turn them into a functioning prototype as your submission to this challenge, you will be awarded an additional 2 bonus points to your final judging score. Just be clear to tell us which idea you have chosen to develop.
You do not need to add the original competitor from the Gaps inn Dapps challenge to your team to be able to use their idea, but you are more than welcome to connect with them and collaborate as much as you like. There's a good chance that they will understand their own concept better than anyone else!
That said, here are the summaries of the winning submissions, which can also be viewed here:
