📍 An Arc Has Begun

The first ideas of Campus Arc were born.

Fun fact 1: Before the Campus Arc was born, Hüseyin has watched the Social Network movie (the story of Facebook) exactly 4 times, inspiring him to build something that connects college students in a more meaningful way.

Fun fact 2: The first "Evreka!" moment of Campus Arc was inspired by the first scene of the Scent of a Woman movie, where the main character is looking at the "Thanksgiving Weekend Jobs" board in his college.

🥇 Rank #1 in EduFi Category

Campus Arc BETA has earned Rank #1 in the EDU Chain Hackathon Semester 1 in EduFi category.

There were 4600 hackers and 725 projects from 6 categories in total. Campus Arc BETA earned 1st place in the EduFi category among 150+ other projects in this category. Only 40 projects were awarded with a prize in the hackathon.

Fun fact 1: Campus Arc BETA was built in only 7 days by Hüseyin Karataş. His main motivation to attend EDU Chain Hackathon was to push himself to find a blockchain-related educational solution (using advantages of Web3 for creating concrete educational incentives) in the context of Campus Arc idea.
