The first place and a prize of $5000 went to the Pai project, an automated payment system for restaurants. The second place was taken by the AI super-app Baby Guide with $3000, and the third place by the marketplace Dino with $2000.

A separate prize from Qubic in the amount of $15,000 was awarded to the Melodix startup, which is developing a mini-app in Telegram for earning cryptocurrency. The most promising projects will have the opportunity to participate in the Prosperity CUP incubation program with investments of up to $10,000.
