About EOS Hackathon Hong Kong

The EOS Global Hackathon series is a first-of-its-kind event in the world of blockchain, with the continued goal of supporting a decentralized global community from the ground up.

Get involved and you will be joining hackers, product developers, marketers, and business leaders in creating a new wave of blockchain dApps that secure life, liberty, and property. 

From June through the end of 2018, Block.one will be hosting a series of initiatives designed to find and give a platform to the most visionary architects of decentralization out there. 

Four in-person events will be followed by a Grand Finale Pitch Competition that puts the best applications under the spotlight. 

Travel stipends will be awarded for projects with built-in community involvement, so we encourage participation from all corners of the globe.
