Want to show your talents in the blockchain field? Blockchain Hackathon 100,000 US dollars is waiting for you!

Hackathon originated in the United States and is likened to the "American Idol" of programmers. It is quite popular among developers. There is a scene in the movie "The Social Network": Mark Zuckerberg held a 10-minute coding competition in a dormitory at Harvard, and the winner became his first intern. The real scene of a hackathon competition is usually: developers gather together and develop works within dozens of hours according to the theme. In 2011, more than 200 "hackathons" were held in the United States. It spawned many new ideas and developed into a huge industry--Since 2007, more than 500,000 programs have been developed around Apple's iOS system alone, bringing programmers $3 billion in revenue. Venture capital institutions also flocked to find targets worth investing in.

Shanghai Blockchain Hackathon - Blockchain Developer Event

Now, hackathons are coming to China again. Shanghai will hold the first区块链黑客马拉松(Shanghai Blockchain Hackathon) from January 8 to 10, 2016. Participants will be divided into several groups to brainstorm innovative applications of blockchain within two days and complete the design and development of the demo version. After the development is completed, each group will show the prototype version developed by the group to everyone.

Blockchain technology experts such as the Ethereum development team, Deloitte Rubix team, and Wanxiang Blockchain Lab technical team will provide technical guidance to participants throughout the event. Participants can have in-depth exchanges with blockchain technology enthusiasts, gain a deeper understanding of the application prospects of blockchain, and have the opportunity to meet elites in the global blockchain industry, finance, venture capital, and other industries, and discover potential entrepreneurial partners, potential investors, and potential customers. This blockchain hackathon event also has first, second, and third prizes, a Distributor Capital Special Award, and a Winning Award, along with generous bonuses.

The concept of blockchain is popular, and practical applications are expected

This event was co-hosted by WanXiang Blockchain Labs and Deloitte. WanXiang Blockchain Labs is a non-profit cutting-edge research institution focusing on blockchain technology. The "New Economic Blueprint" hosted by it, the 2015 First Global Blockchain Summit, set off a wave of domestic blockchain research and discussion, and also inspired the enthusiasm of blockchain developers and enthusiasts at home and abroad for blockchain development and learning.

Deloitte, one of the world's four largest accounting firms, has been involved in blockchain technology research for more than 18 months and launched Rubix, a "one-stop blockchain software platform". The basic research of blockchain is carried out by a dedicated team of more than 100 people worldwide. The group is called the Deloitte Cryptocurrency Team, which is responsible for finding potential applications of blockchain technology in banking and retail businesses. Deloitte is also actively communicating with startups, retail and banking industries based on blockchain technology. The Deloitte Cryptocurrency Team has three main tasks: educating Deloitte and its clients, studying how to use technology to improve existing services, and exploring solutions built on blockchain.

The Shanghai Blockchain Hackathon is looking forward to gathering many developers to come for face-to-face exchanges, in-depth discussions, and sparks of innovative applications. Whether you are a blockchain expert, a technology geek, a design expert, or a software engineer who knows nothing about blockchain, you can try to participate in the carnival of blockchain application design. You are welcome to practice blockchain technology and turn the vision of blockchain economy and programmable finance into reality.
