Quarkchain & NKN Training Workshop for BlockchainAwakens Hackathon

    Join slack channel for BlockchainAwakens Hackathon. 

    This training workshop for BlockchainAwakens Hackathon, but it's open for anyone who is interested in Quarkchain and NKN. Snacks and drinks will be provided. This event will be recorded and uploaded to youtube, but we recommend you come in person to meet your potential team partner and build connections, talk to speakers if you have any deeper technical questions :)


    What you can get from the event?

    • Get a basic understanding of how Quarkchain & NKN testnets work.

    • Set up the developing environment for Quarkchain & NKN testnets. 

    • Write your first application on these testnets.
