Nagpur Student’s Innovative Blockchain RPG Wins International Hackathon

Mosin Shaikh, a VNIT Nagpur student, and his friend Soham Ghugare from VIT Vellore, secured joint first place in the Cosmoverse Hackathon in Dubai. Their innovative project, Cosmic Quest, a blockchain-based RPG, won them a $5,000 prize and the best user/dev experience award. Cosmic Quest transforms blockchain learning into an engaging game, allowing users to learn by deploying smart contracts and navigating cross-chain operations within the game itself. This unique approach, developed in just three nights, impressed judges and highlights the potential of Web3 for immersive education. Shaikh and Ghugare hope their project will inspire future developments in blockchain education, bridging the gap between theory and practical skills.
