Not Research Contest: Results
You looked deeper. Beyond trends, beyond speculation
Some traced the roots of Notcoin
Some mapped its pulse, its movement, its meaning
Some saw what wasn’t there, until they made it real
Words turned into blueprints. Data became vision
Each piece revealed something new for us
This is madness, really
From the first entry, it was clear: this wasn’t just a contest
This was a community of explorers, each seeing "probably nothing" in their own way
Notcoin is more than what’s on the surface
You proved it
Now, the best stand out:
Tier 1: 6M $NOT
Tier 2: 2.5M $NOT
Tier 3: 1M $NOT
Tier 4: 500k $NOT
Dive into the works at contest.notco.in
But don't worry if you missed this one
Ahead – new horizons, new questions and new answers
Thank you, everyone

Now, the work shifts to us
We’ll go through every submission. Every research piece, every line of code
Some will challenge what we thought we knew. Some will open new doors
In the coming days, we’ll share the results
The names of those who pushed the boundaries the furthest
The ones who saw Notcoin from a new perspective. Who made something that truly matters
Thank you for being part of this

Not AI Games
We’re excited to announce the next game dev challenge for TWA games

– Launch a private Telegram channel for your submission

The secret sauce
