# 🏆 THANK YOU! The Magi Writing Contest Entries Are In - Winners Announced Tomorrow

12.05.2026_01.50.07_REC.png

A couple of weeks ago we threw down a challenge:

Use Magi. Then tell the world what you found.

Go to Altera, do a real cross-chain swap, deploy a token or an NFT on the Okinoko Token Terminal, explore whatever caught your eye and then write a post about it in your own words, with a screenshot, and tag us. $500 USD in BTC and 90,000 HP in delegations on the line, across 5 winners.

No essays. No technical deep-dives required. Just use it, screenshot it, and pitch it to someone who's never seen it before.

And wow — you delivered. 🙌

Magi is native cross-chain DeFi on Hive: real Bitcoin in decentralized TSS-managed vaults, no wrapped tokens, no centralized bridges, a DEX that works the way DeFi was supposed to plus tokens and NFTs anyone can deploy. We built it. But there's nothing like watching you actually put it through its paces and explain it better than we ever could.

People swapped real BTC. Staked HBD. Minted NFTs. Launched tokens. Wrote step-by-step guides in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech and more. Some of you went deep, some kept it short and punchy and every single one of you took real time to use Magi and share it with the community. That is exactly what we hoped for, and we're genuinely blown away.

The entries — thank you, every one of you 👏
