The Forward Factory played a pivotal role in the hackathon by providing participants with an intuitive, user-friendly platform to develop templates that, when deployed, are fully functioning decentralized applications.

Despite these challenges, the Forward team provided continuous and effective support. They were quick to address bugs, offering updates and workarounds that kept the development process on track. The team also assisted with template interactivity issues and ensured smooth wallet connections and payment processes.
