Eight-day hackathon planned at one of Asia’s largest blockchain events

One of Asia’s largest blockchain events will take place in a matter of weeks – and it will include an eight-day hackathon.

Morpheus Labs has organized the competition in collaboration with Huawei and Blockchain Association Singapore.

The project says that hackathon is in line with its vision that blockchain technology is an indispensable tool for education – and opens up opportunities for developers across Asia.

A grand prize of cash, Huawei Cloud Credits and a laptop will be awarded to the winner – and there will be rewards for second and third place as well.

It all starts on July 20 and 21, when the participants get the chance to start socializing and brainstorming together.

They have until kl. 23.59 on July 24 to deliver a video demo – an important pitch that illustrates their concept in action.

Judging will take place on July 26 and 27, with an award ceremony to select the winners on July 28.

Pei-Han, CEO of Morpheus Labs, told Cointelegraph: “This hackathon gives budding and experienced blockchain developers – and even those without blockchain experience – a stage to hone and showcase their skills.

“We are very excited about the hackathon, since it has been supported by a number of companies, and the number of registrations for the hackathon has been more than encouraging.”

He added that Morpheus Labs and BAS have been working together “on many occasions” since 2017, and further events are planned in the not too distant future.

Experience the future of Web3

The hackathon is described as “the ultimate event for blockchain developers,” with more than 1,000 participants. In addition to insights from industry experts and a range of training courses, it will also give managers a chance to discover the latest talent in the fast-moving Web3 site.

Competitors will be able to work on a variety of groundbreaking projects in a special Web3 Sandbox – whether this is designing a decentralized autonomous organization that promotes innovation, connecting NFT applications to real businesses or building a DApp that offers a smoother user experience through decentralized identities. Technology that tackles the UN’s 16 social development goals will also be viewed positively.

As you might expect, “Web3 and Beyond” is the theme for Singapore Blockchain Week 2022 and is being held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center. With appearances from the Monetary Authority in Singapore, the head of fintech officer Sopnendu Mohanty, and the SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, it looks like it will be a news-creating event.

The fight’s platform

Morpheus Labs hopes the hackathon will also provide a showcase for their platform – and the project has been proactive in bringing in new customers and partners.

The KuCoin Exchange and KuCoin Labs are also partners in the event – which further strengthens the event.

Morpheus is now partnering with Sleep Future – a blockchain-driven sleep-wellness ecosystem that aims to promote the sleep quality of users through data analysis and recommendations.

A memorandum of understanding has also been signed with Avadore, and Morpheus Lab’s infrastructure will play a key role in an upcoming blockchain metaverse project for the dating industry – among the first of its kind.

GEEQ, 5ireChain, Numen and ChainUp are just some of Morpheus Labs’ other customers.

When it comes to partnerships, Morpheus Labs says it has been motivated by creating an ecosystem that delivers real benefit to customers.

And there is little doubt that even more compelling partnerships will emerge during this upcoming hackathon – not least because this technology sector is just scratching the surface of what Web3 can achieve.
