Hedera18 Hackathon

Memo

During the Hedera18 two-day hackathon you will be given the opportunity to build what’s next in fast-moving categories, including gaming, social causes and micro-payments. Start now to envision your next big idea for an entirely new class of applications on the world’s fastest distributed ledger platform. Hackathon ChallengeUsing Hedera Hashgraph APIs, teams can be inspired to take advantage of the high throughput, low consensus latency, and transaction order fairness to build dapps in categories such as gaming, supply chain, social causes, micropayments, and IoT. Winning teams will earn Hedera tokens and a chance to have your project incubated and deployed on the Hedera Hashgraph platform. Prizes:1 Grand Prize winner: 50k3 Local winners per location: 1st: 10k | 2nd: 7k | 3rd: 3k(prizes will be a combination of Hedera coin and USD) Judging Criteria (25% for each)Feasibility - Is the solution possible, or just nice in theory?Innovation - Is the project new and disruptive?Challenge fit - how relevant is the project to the stated challenge?Technical execution - how has the team effectively utilized the available technologies?

Global JudgesLeemon Baird - Co-founder and CTO of Swirlds IncMance Harmon - CEO and Co-founder at Hedera HashgraphKen Anderson - Lead Developer Advocate at Swirlds Inc What is Hedera Hashgraph?The Hedera Hashgraph platform provides a new form of distributed consensus; a way for people who don’t know or trust each other to securely collaborate and transact online without the need for a trusted intermediary. The platform is lightning fast, secure, and fair, and, unlike some blockchain-based platforms, doesn’t require compute-heavy proof-of-work. Hedera enables and empowers developers to build an entirely new class of distributed applications that were never before possible.
