The BlockShow x BlockDown Festival will be hosting an exciting hackathon event in Hong Kong on May 8-9, 2024. This 48-hour chain-agnostic event aims to showcase the skills and talents of local Web3 developers and entrepreneurs. Co-organized with Epic Web3, a company with eight years of experience in hosting conferences, communities, and hackathons, this event promises to be a thrilling opportunity for participants.
The BlockShow x BlockDown Festival is a vibrant global Web3 community that brings together builders, industry pioneers, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs. Their main goal is to create valuable industry events that are both fun and engaging for all attendees.
Addy Crezee, the founder of BlockShow by Cointelegraph, expressed his excitement for the hackathon and encouraged interested individuals to click here for more information and details on how to enter.
The hackathon offers two tracks for participants to compete in. The first track is “startup,” where developers will compete to launch innovative products that contribute to mass adoption. The second track, “tooling and infra,” aims to build for the Web3 developer community.
The hackathon will kick off on May 7 with an official opening event. The following day, May 8, will see the start of technical workshops, mentoring sessions, and project development. The final day, May 9, will include a pitching workshop and the submission of projects. The event will conclude with a pitching competition and awards ceremony to recognize the best entries.
Participants have the chance to win prizes for their successful submissions and secure funding for their projects of up to $50,000. Additionally, participating in the hackathon will grant a dev pass, providing free access to the BlockShow X BlockDown event.
Alex Pisarevski, the founder of EpicWeb3, emphasized the submission requirements, which include an open-source code repository URL with publicly accessible code and an open-source license. A text description of the project’s features, functionality, and chosen track is also mandatory, along with a demonstration video limited to three minutes.
All submissions must be in English, and at least one representative from each team must attend the hackathon in person.
