Holon together with Protocol Labs, RMIT, Block8, MODA DAO and HDIT are running an Oceania hackathon.
20 Nov – 26 Nov 2021
Where: Oceania Virtual Event
Registrations close: 12 Nov 2021
The Hackathon Challenge
We are generating data at a rapid pace. It is so exponential that today’s Web2.0 centralised cloud storage solutions will not be able to scale or provide the experience we need in the future.
IPFS is a decentralised web protocol for sharing data quickly and easily. Filecoin, built on top of IPFS supports storing data long-term via on-chain deals. Together, they will enable us to break free from centralised services while conveniently allowing us to enjoy the same luxuries of speed and guaranteed storage that centralised services would bring.
This challenge is seeking innovators to design UX and/or develop functionality that takes advantage of these new decentralised, verifiable data possibilities.
Teams are invited to:
Challenge 1 (Industry): Design experience or build functionality that uses IPFS and/or Filecoin to solve a problem specific to one industry (e.g. education, environment, music, health…).
Challenge 2 (Integrations): Design experience or build functionality that integrates IPFS/Filecoin storage with Web3 networks such as NEAR, Polygon, Flow smart contracts, or Chainlink oracles.
Note: Project submissions are free to use IPFS and/or Filecoin directly, or a storage API such as Estuary.tech, web3.storage, or NFT.storage.
