The 2023 ETH HK HACKATHON, organized by BeWater, Scroll, and ABCDE Capital, will take place in Hong Kong this October. The purpose of this event is to collaborate with the broader Asian community in building the Ethereum ecosystem, fostering cooperation among its members, sharing innovative ideas, and collectively advancing its development. We cordially invite members from all regions to join us in shaping the future of Web3.
At present, we are in a crucial period of Web3 development, where the entire industry needs more individuals to engage in application innovation on the blockchain. Therefore, for this ETH HK Hackathon, we have chosen on-chain innovation as the main theme, hoping to witness the creation of more outstanding on-chain applications for public goods.
The Web3 industry has always welcomed fresh talent, and for ETH HK Hackathon, we have specifically established another track for students, encouraging your active participation in this exciting tech revolution.
The whole ETH HK Hackathon Stage will feature speeches, in-depth discussions, and practical workshops. This event aims to leverage the vibrancy of Hong Kong, bringing together some of the world's most outstanding leaders to create a unique Ethereum community gathering in the region.
