A Platform for All
Pei-Han, the CEO of Morpheus Labs, celebrated the hackathon as a stage for both novice and seasoned developers alike: “This hackathon gives budding and experienced blockchain developers — and even those with no blockchain experience — a stage to hone and show their skills.” Seems like a fantastic opportunity to throw your hat into the blockchain ring!
Future Insights
As for what to expect? The hackathon is touted as “the ultimate event for blockchain developers,” attracting more than 1,000 attendees. Think of it as summer camp for tech lovers—only you won’t need to pack any marshmallows. Besides educational courses, there will be insights straight from industry pros, and a chance for executives to scout fresh talent in the rapidly evolving Web3 space.
Projects on the Cutting Edge
Participants will be working on innovative projects in a Web3 sandbox, tackling everything from creating decentralized autonomous organizations to connecting non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with real-world applications. If you can dream it, there’s a good chance you can build it here.
Driving Social Change
In true visionary fashion, projects that align with the United Nations’ 16 Social Development Goals are set to receive extra points. So if you thought making a difference with tech was tricky, welcome to your chance!
Noteworthy Speakers to Look Out For
“Web3 and Beyond” is the theme for this year’s Singapore Blockchain Week, hosted at the Sands Expo and Convention Center. With superstars like Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief Fintech Officer of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and Hester Peirce, Commissioner of the SEC, speaking, this event is bound to create plenty of buzz, and maybe a sprinkle of controversy.
