Building for the Web 3 Ecosystem
Polkadot is leading and bringing seminars, presentations, and a $15,000 prize pool to ETHDenver as part of the world’s biggest Ethereum hackathon. Polkadot offers a $15,000 prize pool as part of the ETHDenver BUIDLathon (hackathon). Since 2018, ETHDenver has brought blockchain and crypto engineers, designers, enthusiasts, cypher-punks, and the decentralised technology community to Denver, Colorado. The inquisitive minds who have gathered here for the BUIDLathon “hackathon” are looking for ways to innovate, to create breakthrough ideas for the next phase of the Internet, Web3.
Polkadot is a decentralised network that may be used for various purposes. It’s a layer-0 blockchain architecture at its core, supporting many self-sovereign blockchains with common security and interoperability services. In a word, this implies that parachains built on Polkadot may be optimised from the start for everything from DeFi to gaming to smart contracts to privacy…the possibilities are endless. These parachains can also host level 2 dapps, such as Solidity/EVM deployments. This opens up an exciting new phase for Web3 with trustless bridges to other networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin and the capacity to interoperate.
**Urban Osvald, Developer Relations Partnerships Lead, W3F, said: **
We’re thrilled to be back at ETHDenver. Not only is it a refreshing change of pace to participate in an in-person event, but also to see how the entire Polkadot ecosystem has grown. We have over twenty hours of Polkadot content, from in-depth Substrate workshops led by Parity core engineers to dozens of ecosystem projects showcasing their tech in presentations, workshops, and panel discussions. I’m confident that this year ETHDenver will be a splashing success!
With new parachains being introduced to the Polkadot ecosystem regularly, the community is constructing new parachains for a chance to win a piece of the $15,000 prize pool. This sum is divided 50/50…
