A Hackathon is a design sprint-like event in which computer programmers and software developers collaborate intensively on software projects with the goal of creating functioning software solutions by the end of the event. Online hackathons are usually spread over several weeks, allowing teams to join later in the process whilst leaving them with more time to build more advanced solutions.

 

Highlights:

 

●   The Post Covid Hack will bring together blockchain teams, developers and blockchain protocols from around the world to ideate, collaborate, learn, innovate & build cutting-edge decentralized, open solutions to overcome the post-Covid health, social, economic & privacy challenges.

 

●  Submissions will open 10 August, the launch date of the hackathon, which will be preceded by pre-hackathon webinars in July. The hackathon is expected to attract more than 200 participants.

 

●  Main hackathon tracks to include: Health, Privacy & Security, Crypto & DeFi, User Experience and Gamification with additional tracks to be suggested by the sponsoring Track Partners.

 

• Indorse and Coinsilium will pool their networks and reach in order to attract world class sponsoring partners for this high-profile global initiative

Indorse's Singapore-based team has previously organised several online hackathons for its Fortune 500 clients. As cited in this article published by Bloomberg.com on June 9, the Singapore government plans to boost its spending on technology to combat Covid-19 to US$2.5 billion in the current financial year. As nations increasingly rely on technological solutions to fight the pandemic and its side-effects, Coinsilium and Indorse believe that this hackathon has the potential to mobilise the global blockchain tech community to join this effort and contribute to addressing and overcoming some of the many challenges the post-Covid19 era will present.
