Congrats to The Pinata Challenge Winners!

The time is now! We are excited to announce the winners of the The Pinata Challenge.

From virtual museums to NFT minting to time capsule apps, it’s obvious that our participants gave it their all! We received some of the most creative and well executed projects we’ve ever seen in a DEV Challenge. This was an incredibly tough competition, and we hope everyone who participated is feeling proud of what they accomplished.

As always, we can only pick a few winners.

Our Winners

In no particular order, major congratulations to our three winners:

Pinata OG

@nightlyinks built an incredibly polished real-time file experience. This app is immediately useful as a utility for generating and manipulating useful open graph images and demonstrates the power of the Pinata File API incredibly well.

Noisy Monster

@milewski demonstrates an impressive use of file storing and fetching. The project is a super creative use of multi-file music generation — or whatever off-the-wall thing a user wants to do with it.
