Hedera 18 Hackathon The Hedera18 Hackathon—the first global, decentralized hashgraph hackathon—will gather developers to compete in nine cities around the world: Dallas, Bangalore, London, Moscow, Paris, San Francisco, São Paulo, Singapore, and Tel Aviv. This two-day hackathon will give you an opportunity to build what’s next in fast-moving categories, including gaming, social causes and micro-payments. Start now to envision your next big idea for an entirely new class of applications on the world’s fastest distributed ledger platform.Hackathon ChallengeUsing Hedera Hashgraph APIs, teams can be inspired to take advantage of the high throughput, low consensus latency, and transaction order fairness to build DApps in categories such as gaming, supply chain, social causes, micropayments, and IoT.Winning teams will earn Hedera tokens and a chance to have your project incubated and deployed on the Hedera hashgraph platform.Prizes1 Grand Prize winner: 50k3 Local winners per location: 1st: 10k | 2nd: 7k | 3rd: 3k(prizes will be a combination of Hedera coin and USD)Judging Criteria (25% for each)Feasibility - Is the solution possible, or just nice in theory?Innovation - Is the project new and disruptive?Challenge fit - how relevant is the project to the stated challenge?Technical execution - how has the team effectively utilized the available technologies?

The platform is lightning fast, secure, and fair, and, unlike some blockchain-based platforms, doesn’t require compute-heavy proof-of-work. Hedera enables and empowers developers to build an entirely new class of distributed applications that were never before possible.
