For this purpose , we would like to form TomoChain as a reality & comprehensive playground where projects will be evaluated not only by technical mentors, but also by experienced & reputable financial blockchain institutions, such as, Signum Capital — main investor of OmiseGo, Zilliqua and Kyber Network.
After 3 weeks launching, we are pleased to announce a huge interest towards our Hackathon from a variety of teams. The latter have diverse backgrounds which cover most aspects of the blockchain technology. They are teams with diverse backgrounds which covers most aspect of technology. While few teams now own product with million users, other teams just pave their initial step to blockchain industry. However, all of them impresses us by their creative and breakthrough ideas.
Sharing about their ideas, regarding the blockchain infrastructure topic, a team raises their plan to develop a blockchain system using BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus protocol and improve/ add new features from Bitcoin’s raiden and lighting network, or build payment channel for Etherenum. Meanwhile, teams choose decentralized application topic and expect to apply blockchain and smart contracts to solve freelance late payment issue or build protocol/frameworks for logistics and transportation.
