Quote from Neo Yiu, Head of Technology Advocacy at Klaytn

“ It’s incredible to see some of the top projects coming out of this hackathon building and contributing to the diversity of the Klaytn ecosystem using the Covalent API.

Covctl

• Project links: Submission and demo
• Builders: Mark Ruddy
• Use case: Covctl is a CLI tool to interact with the Covalent APIs covctl. It allows you to access all of Covalent Class A endpoints through the command line!
• Covalent API: All Class A endpoints

Quote from Mark Ruddy, developer of Covctl

“ The Covalent API is well-documented, fast and easy to use. As it supports multiple blockchains, it opens your app up to a wealth of information while making near-identical queries.

Fractionalized NFT

• Project links: Submission and demo
• Builder: Newman
• Use case: This is a dApp that allows users to fractionalize either their existing NFTs, or new ones. Fractionalizing an NFT involves locking it inside of a vault where an arbitrary number of tokens are minted as a pegged 'fraction' representing it.
• Covalent API: Get NFT transactions for contract and Get NFT external metadata for contract

Mutual NFT Searcher

• Project links: Submission and demo
• Builder: Jinwoo Cheon
• Use case: Mutual NFT searcher is an app that allows you to easily compare any two NFT projects in detail. It supports multi-chain NFT collection analysis by getting data on mutual NFT Owners, NFT price floor, unique tokens sold today and volume.
• Covalent API: Get Token Holders as of any block height and Get NFT Market Global View**

Quote from Jinwoo Cheon, developer of Mutual NFT Searcher

“ Best API to start with when working with blockchain data. If more than two chains are involved, a must. Covalent API is super easy to use with its well-documented resources that I've had fun playing around with it... and eventually my 'Mutual NFT Searcher' came out.

Congratulations to all the talented participants!
