## Current Edition: Crypto World's Fair

The **Crypto World's Fair** ([colosseum.com/worldsfair](https://colosseum.com/worldsfair)) is Colosseum's open online competition bringing together builders and founders across all crypto ecosystems, with Solana as one of the dedicated tracks. Colosseum's hackathons have produced 60k+ builders and 9k+ products; roughly 85% of VC-funded Solana startups came out of these competitions.
