What's it all about?
Find out what you can accomplish in a weekend!
Build a Decentralised Application (DApp) on CENNZnet, and compete for $5000 in cash and token prizes! There will be cool swag, food and drinks.
What’s CENNZnet?
CENNZnet is a blockchain that provides powerful open source modules to DApp builders so that they don’t have to build everything themselves from scratch.
What’s the challenge?
The theme of this Hackathon is NFT (Non-Fungible Token). Your challenge is to build a DApp using the CENNZnet NFT module.
Unlike NFTs on Proof of Work blockchains that consume an enormous amount of energy, the CENNZnet's carbon-friendly Proof of Stake network ensures the energy cost of minting and sending NFTs is akin to sending a tweet.
Who can participate?
You can join the CENNZnet Hackathon as:
- An individual developer
- A development team
- A UX designer (you will need to join a team unless you intend to code)
- An entrepreneur (you will need to join a team unless you intend to code)
To develop a CENNZnet Dapp, you will need JavaScript skills and a laptop with Node.js and Yarn installed.
How to get ready?
If you’re new to blockchain our team will be onsite and available to answer your questions or point you in the right direction. There are also two workshops in the week before the Hackathon that will prepare you with blockchain knowledge and help you set up your development environment:
Dev environment setup & Hackathon briefing
The agenda
The Hackathon starts on the Saturday morning of TechWeek. At the start of the Hackathon, you will pitch ideas and form teams. Then you will work on your idea for the rest of Saturday and Sunday. There will be developers from the CENNZnet team to answer technical questions. Your team will present the final result on Sunday afternoon and compete for the prizes.
The workshops and the Hackathon are free events. Spots are limited.
