BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem that includes the world’s largest smart contract blockchain by daily transactions, has announced the upcoming BNB Hack Bangkok, an offline hackathon set to take place from November 9-10, 2024. The event which is sponsored by World of Dypians, Seraph, Cleverse, and Hooked Protocol, invites blockchain developers, innovators, and enthusiasts to join a two-day intensive hacking session in the vibrant city of Bangkok. Participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded developers, tackle real-world challenges, and compete for a share of the $230,000 prize pool. Users can register here.
Taking place at the 44/1 Rungrojthanakul 16-storied building in Huai Khwang, Bangkok, this hackathon is designed to foster creativity and technical innovation. Developers are encouraged to begin working on their projects ahead of the event to maximize their chances of success, with early preparation giving participants a valuable edge.
The BNB Hack Bangkok is not just about competition; it’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the blockchain space. With multiple challenge tracks available, developers can choose from a range of topics tailored to both seasoned developers and newcomers to the ecosystem. Key tracks include building a Telegram Mini App for BNB Chain, creating an Innovative Trading Aggregator, and developing an Open-Source Real World Asset (RWA) Platform for real estate transactions.
Key Dates:
- Registration opened on October 22, 2024, allowing developers to sign up and start working on their projects immediately.
- The hackathon itself will run from November 9-10, 2024, with opening ceremonies, workshops, hacking sessions, and project feedback on both days.
- Final submissions will be made on November 10, followed by assessments and the announcement of finalists. The event will conclude with a closing ceremony where top projects will be recognized.
With a $230,000 prize pool, developers will compete for substantial rewards across two main categories: the BNB Chain Challenge prize pool of $218,000, and a Sponsor Challenge Track offering $12,000. The challenges will focus on high-impact solutions that drive adoption and innovation within the BNB Chain ecosystem.
The top-ranked project will receive $7,000 USDT, along with a Kickstart package worth $100,000, opportunities for an MVB interview and BIA demo, and one month of technical support. The second and third-place projects will each be awarded $3,000 USDT, a Kickstart package worth $50,000, BIA demo opportunities, and one month of technical support. In addition, a $5,000 USDT prize pool will be distributed among all qualifying submissions.
Participants will be judged based on their technical innovation, ability to engage with users, and their project’s potential for real-world impact. Submissions must be newly developed and not have participated in any prior hackathons or received prior funding. The projects will need to be deployed on or connected to opBNB or BSC mainnet or testnet, with all submissions required to be open-source, verifiable, and free for others to use.
