The Binary Holdings & Metana Celebrate GAME TIME Hackathon Success: 10 Winners to Tap into 170M+ Audience

Over 25 qualified teams and solo developers crafted hyper-casual games tailored for TBH’s largely non-crypto-native audience of 170 million users.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, June 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The GAME TIME hackathon, a collaboration between The Binary Holdings (TBH) and Metana, has concluded with resounding success. Over 25 qualified teams and solo developers crafted hyper-casual games tailored for TBH’s largely non-crypto-native audience of 170 million users. After rigorous evaluation, ten standout winners were chosen—each now poised to transform their projects into passive income engines thanks to direct access to TBH’s vast distribution network.

GAME TIME was specifically geared toward hyper-casual entries, reflecting the preferences of TBH’s user base: quick, engaging experiences that require no prior crypto knowledge. By concentrating on simple gameplay loops, think time-killers, micro-challenges, and easy-to-learn mechanics—participants designed games that resonate with a broad demographic across Southeast Asia and beyond.

From 25+ Entrants to 10 Winners
More than 25 teams met the qualification criteria, submitting prototypes by the deadline. A panel of judges from The Binary Holdings, Metana, zkCandy, and Lisk assessed entries on engagement potential, ease of play, and seamless integration within TBH’s ecosystem. Ten winners shared the prize pool, but the true reward lies in the opportunity to reach millions: TBH will embed these games into OneWave, its ‘dApp playstore’ that powers telco loyalty points for 170M+ people – giving creators immediate exposure to a captive user base and a chance to monetize at scale.

“Seeing these hyper-casual concepts come to life, and knowing they’ll reach millions—underscores why we ran GAME TIME,” said George Papas, VP of Tech at The Binary Holdings. “Our ecosystem is expanding weekly: we now host 30 dApps across two blockchains, and every winner gains instant access to our distribution. This is where web3 gaming meets real-world scale.”

Winning developers will benefit from:
- Direct Market Access: Immediate distribution into OneWave, TBH’s ‘dApp playstore’ that powers telco loyalty programs for 170M+ users.
