Blockchain Week Hackathon

Make Blockchain Work for Municipalities & Citizens.

We've teamed up with Day One VC, The Government of Papua New Guinea and the Open Bank Project. For the Hackathon challenge we're asking developers and teams to use Blockchain to improve citizen and municipal services. We're looking for concepts that will help local, regional and national governments assist their citizens better. You could explore ways to help the unbanked, track movement of goods, voting, e-citizenship, licensing, etc...

Get Involved:

Winning teams will be judged on concept originality, feasibility, level of development and appropriate use of Blockchain. The winners will win a minimum of £1000 cash (this could go up with additional sponsors). The winning team will also present their concept to the audience at of London Blockchain Week. The potential is also there to take the concept to live prototype with our sponsors.
