Structured Hackathon Focused on Blockchain Development
The article discusses a 60-day hackathon organized by QIE Blockchain to build original blockchain-based products using their ecosystem. The hackathon aims to reduce friction for developers and focus on building usable MVPs.
Why it matters
This hackathon provides a unique opportunity for blockchain developers to build and ship usable products with reduced friction, which could lead to the development of novel blockchain applications.
Key Points
- 160-day hackathon to build blockchain-based products
- 2Projects must be original, runnable MVPs built on the QIE stack
- 3Judging focused on solving real problems, quality of implementation, and potential for user adoption
- 4Prizes available, but the focus is on the products that emerge from the provided infrastructure
Details
QIE Blockchain is opening up their blockchain ecosystem through a structured 60-day hackathon, aiming to reduce the usual friction (fees, tooling, setup) that developers face when building blockchain-based products. The hackathon has a few key constraints - projects must be original (no forks or clones), must actually run as a working MVP with a demo, and must be built on top of the QIE stack. Judging will be weighted towards whether the project solves a real problem, how well it's built, and whether people would actually use it. While there is a prize pool, the more interesting aspect is seeing what kind of innovative products emerge when the underlying infrastructure is already provided.
