GM ♥︎ Tokyo Happy to announce that my project "Vibe" won @apecoin Best Contribution Award from @ETHGlobal Tokyo Hackathon!

As an artist I've never thought I would apply for hackathon. When @tomosaito told me "You might learn something" I decided to get out from my artist cave & jump in to this unknown rabbit hole.

My learning journey started when I clicked submit button. As I tried to prepare myself, I researched on lots of things, talked to many people, read so many stuff, listened to many podcasts, and went through so many tutorials. Although I couldn't code, but understanding how everything works is important. I'm still learning more & more.

In order to find teammate, as I have no connection with developers or engineers at all, I embarrassingly posted in ETHGlobal discord said if anyone would like to just meet online for ice breaking. Luckily few people started to DM me and I met my teammate @PDiTO for the 1st time at the venue.

As the founder of @ArtgumiDAO I am passionate about the "feeling" of my community members. I am inspired so much by @poapxyz and @worthalter (I also met him at the event *yay*). For this hackathon I want to do a project which could "strengthen the sense of community".

I pitched my ideas of this VIBE project to my teammate. Paul kindly accepted my idea & do the code according to how I dreamed it. I designed overall experience, created art elements and did the presentation. Although I don't know coding, but I can imagine how hard it would be for my teammate. I'm grateful for his effort.

On the presentation day, just like everyone else I only slept for 1 hour I squeezed out all of my energy to get myself cheerful just to tell people how passionate I am about community building when creating this project. Although it's not a project that would solve technical issue in WEB3, but community is important for me. Luckily many people did vibed with us. And here we are winning an award. It's a huge thing for my team who participated in Hackathon for the 1st time.

My gratitude to everyone involved in this wonderful event and all hackers who joined this event as well. Everyone's energy was so awesome. Please keep being the greatest version of you. I made LOTS of new friends. I'm grateful to everything Lots of love & Best vibe to all.
