HackCanton Season 3 has drawn around 450 builders from 48 countries, with 353 unique registrations recorded in [AppsFactory’s September 26 update](https://x.com/appsfactory_cc/status/2103784644156293609).

Most are new to the competition. The registration figures show that 82% are taking part in HackCanton for the first time, while 59% signed up alone and were looking for a team. Another 68% registered without a fixed idea, leaving room to develop a project during the event.

Alongside the participation update, AppsFactory has highlighted a [10,000 CC Grofty wallet and onboarding bounty](https://x.com/appsfactory_cc/status/2103907458762809817), open to projects across every Season 3 track. First place receives 5,000 CC, second receives 3,000 CC and third receives 2,000 CC.

The challenge is to build a complete, working user journey on Canton MainNet using Grofty. Small transaction amounts are accepted. The emphasis is on getting the experience to work from beginning to end, rather than moving a large amount of money.

For entrants still shaping an idea, the bounty offers a specific problem to work on: helping someone get started and complete an action on Canton through a functioning wallet experience. Teams can find the full requirements on the [HackCanton Season 3 challenge page](https://hackathon.appsfactory.cc/season-3).
