ABOUT
The Polkadot Hackathon Global Series is back – bigger and better than ever, in Europe.
This virtual three-week program continues on from the huge success of October 2021’s Polkadot APAC Hackathon and June 2022’s Polkadot North America Hackathon, bringing together a diverse community of like-minded blockchain developers ready to build and collaborate.
Although the event is focused on Europe, it is open to everyone, everywhere. The program is designed to create the perfect environment to make and build new blockchains, learn from your fellow attendees, and hack to your heart’s content!
This time, we have a networking event – dotSocial, at the end of the hackathon in Paris! The finalists of Polkadot Hackathon Global Series: Europe Edition will be flown to Paris to attend and present their projects on stage. This is the perfect opportunity to network with a global community of developers to make lasting connections in person, and be in with a chance to win from a massive prize pool.
(More details on dotSocial will be updated soon!)
