Supra, the pioneers of AutoFi and fully vertically integrated Layer 1 blockchain built with MultiVM support, in-protocol oracles, native onchain randomness, cross-chain communication, and automation capabilities, is thrilled to announce the winners of Season One of the Super dApp Showdown. After months of intense competition, nine outstanding projects have emerged as the victors, showcasing innovative solutions across DeFi, GameFi, and more.
Launched in August 2024 at a landmark event in Seoul, Korea, the Super dApp Showdown attracted Web3 developers from around the world, challenging them to build and deploy “Super dApps” on Supra’s high-performance Layer 1 network. Over three months, participants demonstrated how Supra’s vertically integrated stack including native oracles, dVRF, automation, and bridges could enhance their projects. Judges from Supra and the hit reality TV show Killer Whales evaluated the finalists based on innovation, scalability, and real-world application.
Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra, shared his enthusiasm, stating that “it’s truly inspiring to witness the creativity and innovation from the Super dApp Showdown winners. These teams exemplify the pioneering spirit we hold dear at Supra, and we’re excited to see how they leverage our vertically integrated infrastructure to reach new heights.” Tobkin continued, “Having seen some of these projects in person at our launch at Korea Blockchain Week 2024, I’m incredibly excited to now see a handful selected as winners and deploying on Supra.”
