# RMRK.app Hackathon

The hackathon has 3 KPIs:

- userbase growth (expected: +100k USD per week Kanaria+Singular volume, currently ~500k and dropping)
- hiring (expected: at least 2 enthusiastic juniors or one senior, not necessarily blockchain-familiar)

The hackathon should last throughout October to coincide with Hacktoberfest. Explore options for collaborations.
