We are offering local and overseas developers the opportunity to work under the guidance of leading blockchain companies and influencers. Contestants will compete for generous cash prizes donated by our sponsors, and will also inadvertently gain invaluable exposure among Blocfest’s regional audience.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has made staggering headway in recent times. It’s inspired a new generation of tech enthusiasts, innovators and investors, and has amassed unparalleled media attention across the financial technology sector as more and more exciting use cases emerge.
Digital currencies aside, none of this would be possible without the advent of blockchain technology. This rapidly evolving space has given rise to extraordinary advancements in the tech, spearheaded by the talented developers who work tirelessly to strive for a fairer, more transparent and decentralised economy.
In a battle of developer-wit and wisdom, the Blocfest 2018 Hackathon aims to put the spotlight on those looking to code the future of blockchain, and serves as a platform to showcase the best and brightest developers the region has to offer.
