ETH Tokyo Hackathon Winners 🇯🇵

• Thanks to ETH Global, all the hackers, everyone who came by the Aave booth, and especially all 20 teams who built on top of Aave and GHO. Aave Grants awarded three hackathon projects prizes:

  **🥇 DeFi Struct
  **A generalized 4626 vault for structured products providing clear risk & reward information, offering greater insights for users, and holding individuals who promote or develop DeFi strategies more socially accountable.

  **🥈 MAID - Multi Access Incentive Distribution
  **A coupon factory that allows protocols to rewards users with custom ERC3525 coupons (Semi-Fungible Tokens) based on custom requirements and conditions such as being an OG GHO holder.

  **🥉 BorrowFi
  **An aggregator that lets users easily borrow at the best rates possible by introducing a new standard to normalize borrowing and repaying calls while searching across different protocols.

• Next up, we'll be at ETHGlobal Lisbon with more hackathon prizes, 🔥 Aave merch and a rAAVE to top it all off. Let us know if you have received a grant from AGD and are planning on attending!
