The Challenge(s): Blockchain for Good: The challenge is still being defined and the specifics will be available shortly. This year we are looking for Projects that can leverage blockchain for positive social impact. The second challenge will focus more on financial inclusion. This challenge has to have a financial services elements. Watch this space for more details. We've been running this hackathon series for 4 years. Previous sponsors have included, Lloyds Banking Group, Thomson Reuters, IBM, Bank of Papua New Guinea and ABT Associates. We had over 700 registrations for our London hackathon in January. Previous winning ideas including IDbox and GovBlocks have been piloted by sponsors and have become startups in their own right. Once again, we're at Cocoon Networks in Moorgate. It should be a great experience as usual. Get Involved: Winning teams will be judged on concept originality, feasibility, level of development and appropriate use of Blockchain. The winning teams will receive a minimum of £1000 cash (more likely this year) and present their concepts to the audience at the 5th Annual London Fintech Week to a room of 500-700 delegates. The potential is also there to take the concept to live prototype with our sponsors. Applied Blockchain & The Blockchain Connector will be facilitating and providing technical support throughout the hackathon weekend. Click here for more information on London Fintech Week 2018.
