Hi, guys. And thank you for bothering me for the whole weekend. It's been a pleasure to be here for you and help you out with the with your lot of problems. And it was amazing to see how many projects this year we came out with and also how we did a shift from the last year that we we went from web three to broaden our horizons to AI.

Okay guys, I will be really fast because we're kind of late and that's kind of busy schedule for the last days. So in a nutshell actually like this ceremony is to announce the hackathon winner of course. Before to understand a little bit actually what was the main project won, this hackathon was quite different because it was the first one that was was not just web three related. But we also implemented the AI and also we worked at through research and development strategy for a public company that is Terna. So it's really nice how public companies that works with government and our large corps are embracing the strategies of R&D to use hackers to innovate their their companies.
So I would like to thanks the the sponsor that you can see are from BGA that covers our BGA trucks and the AI trucks from Solana with Solana Italy that is entering Europe really hard that is one of our main sponsor of the event and the hackathon. Moons, our company, my company, that actually was more focused on AI and implementation of a cybersecurity. The Dow before a grant for credits for for audits and Takai, our our sponsor. We also have Zero X, we have Side Lab that actually helped us to to continue for the for this process. So, the sponsor bounties are around 16K and we can start to announce the first the first project.
So, I'm going to say the the winners based on the tracks that is based on the company, right? So, each brand has a track and there's a winner. Most mostly of the tracks have two winners, so first place and second place. And then you're going to be contacted for the prize and or the credits, right? Okay.

It's quite interesting, so good job, Marco. Good job.
