Today, a few big corporations manage 90% of the world's data and IT systems, and we are supposed to trust them.
We are here to challenge that.
Come and join us for a 30-day intensive hackathon, collaborating with the brightest minds in the cloud, web3 infra, data, zero-knowledge proofs, blockchain, and AI. Together, we will innovate and construct open technologies that will reshape the world's IT infra & Data landscape for the next 10-20 years.
Blockchain, Smart contracts, Analytics
Data Analytics into Smart Contracts Hackathon (On-chain Query Execution)
#Smart contracts, #On-chain data, #Ethereum, #QuerySmartContracts
Up to $15,000
Prizes (USDC, Bounties)
You'll have the opportunity to revolutionize the world of blockchain and decentralized applications. Introducing data analytics into smart contracts can significantly enhance their capabilities and allow them to make more informed and dynamic decisions based on real-world data. In this 30-day event (in person or virtual), developers, data scientists, and blockchain enthusiasts will work together to build a working prototype.
Dates
28th Nov (Hacking begins on 5th Dec)
Location
Virtual (Worldwide) or In-person (Tank Stream Labs, Sydney)
Requirements
Entry is Free and welcome everyone
Data, Zk, Cryptography
Data Consensus, Verification, Authenticity & Validation Hackathon.
#Data Verification, #zero-knowledge, #Timestamping, #Algorithm Design
Up to $10,000
Prizes (USDC, Bounties)
Without quality, reliable data, all webpages, apps, and the entire internet will cease to function. Being able to verify data and prove information without relying on a middleman fundamentally alters the landscape of how we store, share, and capture data worldwide. Develop a scalable algorithm/solution capable of proving and verifying that streaming data was received from a web endpoint at a specific time.

Mini Data Cloud Development Hackathon (AWS & Bare Metal)
#DataCloud, #decentralized infrastructure, #BareMetal , #InfrastructureDevelopment, #CloudDevelopment
Up to $10,000
Prizes (USDC, Bounties)
You will work with a small team to build a working prototype on a data cloud, featuring data connectivity, custom APIs, analytics, and infrastructure observability on both bare metal and AWS. This is a thrilling opportunity for cloud and infrastructure developers, like you, to showcase your talent and innovative spirit. Your solutions will empower startups and developers to construct their own decentralized infrastructure, reducing costs and accelerating speed to production.
