The event sparked a multitude of conversations and ideas surrounding creative and sustainable solutions to NFT storage. + +For example, [nft.storage](http://nft.storage/) is a new service built specifically for storing off-chain NFT data on IPFS and Filecoin. Nft.Storage was a tremendous asset during the NFTHack weekend. The service made it possible for participants to focus fully on their hacks knowing that their off-chain data was safely being stored by nft.storage on IPFS and Filecoin. During the event alone, 1204 NFTs were stored on IPFS. + +Between March 15-21 over 2,000 people visited nft.storage and a quarter of all NFTHack builders used it. Overall, 10% of all of the event participants used the JavaScript library powering nft.storage to store their NFTs. + +The $5k bounty for the event prize was split into two $1.5k awards and one $2k award. + +* The winner of “The 🤯 Prize” was [NFT (The 🚫Not Not-a-🔥 Flamethrower Token)](https://hack.ethglobal.co/showcase/nnft-the-%F0%9F%9A%ABnot-not-a-%F0%9F%94%A5-flamethrower-token-recqk5Rp8OqYkCwqD). Yes, it’s a flamethrower; but a flamethrower that creates an NFT out of anything it burns. +* One runner up was [GFT](https://hack.ethglobal.co/showcase/gft-pronounced-gift-recLgL3xQVu1T0l07), which connects creators and consumers through NFTS. +* The other runner up was [Rodeo](https://hack.ethglobal.co/showcase/rodeo-recCnrDlmB6FWgPss), which lets people quickly spin up NFT galleries for their websites. + +You can browse the full event [agenda](https://nfthack.ethglobal.co/) and check out the [NFTHack YouTube playlist here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXzKMXK2aHh50g55xEroWasKorT1YkUKs).
