<a href="https://forwardprotocol.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Forward</a>, a pioneer in simplifying web3 technology for global accessibility, recently concluded an exciting Hackathon at ITMO University in Russia. This event, co-hosted by Forward and the distinguished ITMO University, aimed at fostering creativity and innovation in developing customizable and deployable dApp templates.
With a mission to make web3 technology intuitive and accessible, Forward offers the Forward Factory, an integral part of their platform that enables users to create decentralized applications (dApps) with pre-built templates seamlessly. This hackathon was a testament to their commitment to democratizing web3 technology.
The Indian Spiders team secured the third prize with their impressive PreSale Contract Template for the Forward Factory. This template provides a simple interface for conducting a token presale for any project. Users can easily drag and drop this template within the Forward Factory to conduct transparent and secure fundraising and token distribution. The ease of use and minimal data required to create a presale template make it an invaluable tool for Forward users.

Interviewer: What’s your winning template all about, and what problem does it solve?
Indian Spiders Team: Our winning template is the PreSale Contract Template. It’s a simple interface that helps projects conduct a presale of tokens, ensuring a transparent and secure process for fundraising and token distribution. This template solves the problem of attracting investment for token creation, especially for newcomers. It avoids common presale mistakes and makes it easy to set up a token presale with minimal data input.
Interviewer: How did you find using the Forward Factory? What features stood out to you?
Indian Spiders Team: Using the Forward Factory was an interesting experience. We found the template constructor and the functionality for adding contracts and descriptions to be particularly useful. The platform designer for the front end was also impressive. While there were some complexities, especially for developers, the ability to see all the templates in one place was a big plus. It has great potential, and we’re excited to see how it evolves.
Interviewer: Did you encounter any difficulties while using the Forward Factory? How did you handle them?

The platform has great potential, and we’re confident that future updates will address these issues and enhance the user experience.
Interviewer: How did the v4 updates of the Forward Factory impact your experience?
Indian Spiders Team: The v4 updates significantly improved our experience. The interface became more intuitive and the process smoother, which made our template simpler and more effective. While we did encounter some bugs and wallet connection issues, overall, the Forward Factory streamlined the user experience and made creating templates much easier for anyone with a crypto wallet. We’re excited to see how it continues to evolve!

It was a fantastic event, and winning was an unexpected but delightful highlight!

The prospect of making it easy to start small businesses with minimal resources is very compelling. Forward is making DeFi more accessible and promoting the development of blockchain technology. As more people learn about and use blockchain through Forward, it will drive broader adoption and innovation in this space. We see a lot of potential in Forward and believe it will play a significant role in the future of blockchain technology.
