On Monday 2nd August, we were delighted to host the Launch Event for our Algorand Hackathon. A huge thank you to Russ Fustino and Jason Weathersby from Algorand for their great presentation during this session!

About Algorand Hackathon

Encode Club’s Algorand focused hackathon is part of our year-long partnership with the Algorand Foundation. This comes after the successful completion of the first part of the partnership: Algorand Educate.

After the Hackathon, projects will be able to apply for the 10-week Algorand Accelerator run by Encode.

The Encode Algorand Hackathon will be similar to our previous hackathons, however the sole sponsor and focus of the hackathon will be Algorand, and building on the Algorand blockchain.

You can register for the hackathon here!
