Hi everyone I'm here to talk about all the amazing things that we have done for all the early Builders, some of whom are present over here uh for Fem.

A

uh So since the first uh test net launched in November 2022, we have engaged over 1600 developers, Builders and deployed four hundred and thirty thousand dollars in incentives across a host of different initiatives. We have done four hackathons approved over 20 micrograms and we received 100 plus applications for it. We have done a community bug, hunt to make filecoin virtual machines secure and there is a builder's leaderboard that Corey here has LED and there's one more quadratic voting based round going on uh to Award winners award leader projects that are on top of that leaderboard.

A

One of the hackathons that I want to highlight is the fvm space war hackathon that we recently wrapped up. That was our biggest hackathon till date, which we did with eat Global it had over 1040 hackers, 280, odd project submissions uh and all the sponsor bounties put together. We awarded hundred and fifty thousand dollars in prizes, uh I overdid QR codes. So you may want to keep your phone handy.

A

If you want to sign up for uh more updates on other programming and initiatives that we will be doing going forward, um huge shout out to Sarah, she is somewhere here. She has been leading the fbm early Builder program uh since uh since its launch- and the last cohort has been the biggest one yet with 176 project teams, uh building a host of different projects across entry and tooling data, dials storage, applications, D5 and other stuff.

A

um These teams met every week uh showcase. Their project talked about problems they were facing. There was a lot of mentoring that they received and 55 of these are moving to the mainnet cohort, which I'm gonna talk about in my next slide.

A

um So thank you to all of these amazing Builders. We love you guys and they have gone on to being mere ideas to actually mentors and judges at some of our hackathon projects and gone from like one and two people teams to bigger teams and are really excited to continue the journey and be on mainnet when we launch, um if you have an idea that you think is uh worthy to be in the file kind.

A

Ecosystem uh sign up for the next main net cohort deploy to mainnet it'll be a four week program uh with Next Generation value, generating daps and solutions with fevm and uh four weeks up until April 14 to ship and the format will be similar. There'll be weekly check-ins. uh The fvm core team will be available to help solve any problems.
