Blockchain Pioneers Hackathon Heads to Berlin — And So Should You
Here we go again! The blockchain gates of the next DECENT hackathon have finally been unchained. We welcome all beginners and advanced level coding experts to demonstrate your passion for blockchain and develop real-world dApps. Register now to win the grand prize of 20,000 DCT and the chance to win an exclusive trip to Shanghai, courtesy of our Chinese partner, Wanxiang BlockchainLab.
COMING TO BERLIN
After the tremendous success of our first hackathon in Bratislava, we are excited to announce the next edition of the Blockchain Pioneers Hackathon global series, titled ‘Blockchain4Good: Shaping Smart Sustainable Cities for the Future’. And what better location to start shaping the future, than in the mesmerizing city of Berlin, Germany, known for its beautiful architecture, history, and as the biggest blockchain hub in the world. This time, we decided to collaborate with Impact Hub, the largest world network focused on building entrepreneurial communities. The hackathon will take place over two days, from July 20 to July 22.
PRIZE
During our first hackathon earlier this year, a “fantastic four” of young developers got together and came up with a brilliant blockchain project, Werbifi. Their vision of building a blockchain platform for selling advertisement space on public Wi-Fi landing pages (a.k.a. captive portals) beat out the competition and took home the grand prize.
Think you’ve got what it takes to be the next big winner? We are giving out another 20,000 DCT for those who can come up with a project that will knock our socks off! Besides that juicy prize, your winning team will get a chance to collaborate with DECENT and receive exclusive mentoring. Not only that, you will get the chance to compete with the hackathon winners from other cities and prove your ultimate blockchain mastery. The winners will also receive a chance to experience China’s city of Shanghai, with free accommodation, flight tickets, and admission tickets to attend the most iconic annual blockchain gathering in Asia, Shanghai International Blockchain Week.
GOAL
“Future cities need radical ideas, today.” — is the slogan for our next hackathon. This time, the theme will be centered around finding the best decentralized solution that will shape the way smart sustainable cities function. The main areas of focus will be Government, Mobility & Logistics, Energy, Finance, and Health. Using our DCore open-source blockchain platform you and your team will be armed with all the tools you need to build the next blockchain spectacle.
REGISTRATION
You will be forming teams of 2 to 5 people — choosing the size of the crew or its members is entirely up to you. Don’t have a team? Don’t fret, our on-site developers will help you find hacking companions or even a topic that will suit your vision. You can apply HERE. Hurry up, though, registration ends on July 5!
