Telos brings Blockchain to Ivy League campuses with Hack Boston and workshops at Harvard University

Blockchain technology is of great interest to participants in hackathons. Therefore, Telos will host the first ever crypto hackathon on an Ivy League campus. None other than the renowned Harvard University will be home to this three-day event.

A Crypto Hackathon at Harvard University

Given the growing interest in blockchain technology, it is likely to assume that there will be more hackathons and similar events. This effort brings together people who want to turn their bright and innovative ideas into working products and services. This effort will build even stronger momentum with the support of renowned Ivy League campuses. Hack Boston, to be held at Harvard University, is the first such event on an Ivy League campus.

From 23 – 25 September, over 300 students will participate in the workshops and guidance sessions. These students come from Harvard and MIT—two of the most prominent universities worldwide—and other Ivy League colleges. As a result, participants will gain a better insight into blockchain technology and its possibilities.

Also, the workshops at Hck Boston are set up to introduce more people to Web3 technology. This is made possible with the help of Telos, one of the leading blockchain ecosystems. Telos has built its presence by supporting hackathons, dApp developers, supply chain management solutions, etc. With its powerful and robust infrastructure, Telos aims to play a growing role in decentralized solutions with mainstream appeal.

Telos will be represented at Hack Boston by Justin Giudici and Jesse Schulman. Together, they will host the “Get Started: Build Faster, Fairer DeFi on Telos” workshop and offer a comprehensive understanding of this ecosystem. Unlike other networks, Telos prides itself on ESG compliance, fixed gas prices and peak scaling. Justin and Jesse will also provide mentorship to participating hacker teams to help them achieve their goals.

Now a new era of blockchain technology

Getting a foot in the door on Ivy League campuses has been a lengthy process for the broader blockchain industry. However, Telos has successfully cracked the code – with the help of the Harvard and MIT blockchain clubs and the Web3 learning app EasyA. Moreover, the future impact of Web3 technology has become more tangible. The Hack Boston hackathon will continue to build on that momentum and drive the industry forward.

There are also two grand prizes – $4,000 and $6,000 respectively – for the winning teams. In addition, Telos will award awards to blockchain projects with a focus on real-world impact and decentralized finance. Winners must be aware of using or implementing Web3 technology in these procedures. Blockchain technology can change the lives of millions of people, especially when real-world use cases come to fruition.
