The first EOS Hackathon held in Hong Kong has concluded and the results are in.
This developer venture will be ongoing throughout 2018, specifically geared toward driving the innovative development of dApps on the EOS blockchain.
Thank you for attending the #EOSHackathon held at Kai Tak in Hong Kong over the past weekend and congratulations once again to all winners.
The Hackathon will hold five events all around the world, with $1.5 million worth of prizes.
In the first hackathon held at the iconic Kai Tak Crusie Terminal in Victoria Harbour, $144,000 of prizes were awarded to participants.
The top three prize winners from each of the four hackathons will compete in the Grand Finale pitch competition in December - location still unknown.
The first event - which hosted over 350 participants in more than 90 teams - comprised of 30 hours' consecutive programming.
The three top prize winners all received their travel expenses paid.
The first prizewinning team, IDPAss, seeks to offer a way to build a recoverable and fully self-controllable trust ID for over one billion citizens without identification documents.
The next EOS hackathon will be held in Sydney, Australia on August 4th and 5th.Cover Photo by Aaron VanPoole on Unsplash.
