Hi. Thank you for your application few questions below:

  1. “This way, through Conflux-related courses, we bring 1K new developers to the ecosystem.” - How do you justify the 1k value? Is it the current count of developers using your product?
  2. Is there a basic version of the product that could be usable for Conflux? Tier 3 applications are around 50k and your application says 230k budget plus conflux tokens.
  3. Can we host Virtual hackathons using your platform ex: Secure coding competition.

Thank you.
