The upcoming BlockShow x BlockDown Festival in Hong Kong is set to showcase the talents of local Web3 developers and entrepreneurs through a 48-hour hackathon. Co-organized by Epic Web3, a well-established conference and hackathon host, this event promises to be a vibrant gathering of industry pioneers, thought leaders, and builders from around the world.
Led by Addy Crezee, founder of BlockShow by Cointelegraph, the hackathon offers two tracks for participants to compete in. The “startup” track challenges developers to launch innovative products that contribute to mass adoption, while the “tooling and infra” track aims to build for the Web3 developer community.
The hackathon will kick off on May 7 with an official opening ceremony, followed by technical workshops, mentoring sessions, and project development starting on May 8. The event will conclude on May 9 with a pitching workshop and the submission of projects. The best entries will be recognized through a pitching competition and awards ceremony.
Participants have the opportunity to win prizes and funding of up to $50,000 for their successful submissions. Additionally, they will receive a dev pass, granting free access to the BlockShow X BlockDown event.
To enter the hackathon, participants must provide an open-source code repository URL with publicly accessible code and an open-source license. They must also submit a text description of their project’s features, functionality, and chosen track, along with a demonstration video of no more than three minutes. All submissions must be in English, and at least one representative from each team must attend the hackathon in person.
Interested individuals can find more information and register for the event on the BlockShow x BlockDown Festival website or at DoraHacks.
Co-organized by Cointelegraph and EAK Digital, the BlockShow X BlockDown Asia 2024 event is expected to attract 100 media outlets, industry speakers, and over 5,000 attendees. Alongside the hackathon, attendees can enjoy a gaming zone, gamification experiences, and Startup Connect, providing a platform for investors and startups in the Web3 and cryptocurrency industry to connect.
