OnChainTrophy Unveils Innovative Digital Trophies for the 2023 BTC Startup Lab Bitcoin Olympics Hackathon Winners
OnChainTrophy, the pioneering service specializing in crafting digital trophies inscribed on Bitcoin, has just raised the bar in the world of awards.
Above: The First Prize Trophy awarded on Bitcoin to Nostric for winning the 2023 BTC Startup Lab Bitcoin Olympics.
OnChainTrophy started as an entry in the 2023 Bitcoin Olympics Hackathon hosted by the BTC Startup Lab. As a proof of concept, the OCT Team reached out to both BTC Startup Lab, the main sponsor; SORA Ventures, and category sponsor OnChainMonkey to see if they would be interested in awarding the trophies as part of the competition itself.
As a result, the OnChainTrophy team is proud to introduce a collection of remarkable digital trophies awarded to the distinguished winners of the SORA Ventures General Prize and OnChainMonkey Categories. But, don’t be mistaking these for your run-of-the-mill awards.

Designed and created in-house, The OnChainTrophy team utilized the three.js library (inscribed on Bitcoin by Danny Yang with the OCM Dimensions 300 collection) to create 3D trophies that feature several technological firsts for digital awards, including interactive components and immersive Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) elements, making them a true work of art that make the most of the current technology available and creates opportunities to expand the experience beyond the digital realm.

Unique to Ordinals on Bitcoin, one of the key features of these trophies is the utilization of the parent/child inscription method which means that existing inscriptions can be used to create “children” inscriptions. This feature adds a layer of provenance, ensuring that each trophy is a genuine artifact and can be authenticated easily and quickly.

There is also a unique interactive element to these trophies. Once the image in the explorer (ord.io or ordinals.com) is clicked on, the trophy becomes ‘live’ and can be interacted with using the following keyboard presses:
R = Brings up the results data
P = Show / hide the plinth
Up / Down Arrows = Zoom in / Zoom out
You can try it here.

As a result, these digital trophies are not just glorified achievement badges; they are also verifiable digital assets, thanks to the data being stored on the Bitcoin blockchain.
OnChainTrophy's vision to blend technology with artistry has created a new standard in recognizing excellence. For the BTC Startup Lab 2023 Bitcoin Olympics, select category winners will receive trophies on Bitcoin itself, that are both visually stunning and technologically advanced, cementing their place forever, both figuratively and literally, in the records of Bitcoin innovation.

In an era where the digital and the physical worlds continue to converge, OnChainTrophy stands at the forefront of innovation, bridging the gap and giving winners something to cherish, display, and interact with in the digital realm.
The future of trophies is here, and it’s on Bitcoin.
