Stellar, Ethereum, Tezos, Oasis, and NEAR foundations partnered with IDEO CoLab and CoinList on a hackathon running Aug 5-Sept 22 focused on building user-friendly blockchain applications. Teams compete to simplify crypto UX and drive mainstream adoption, with prizes up to $10,000.
Five major blockchain protocols, including Stellar, have partnered with design firm IDEO CoLab and token platform CoinList to host a hackathon from August 5 to September 22. The event emphasizes usability and accessibility, challenging developers to build applications that simplify the blockchain experience for non-crypto users. Projects must deliver functional prototypes by Sept 9, then focus on demonstrating traction and user adoption through Sept 22. Prize pools include $10,000 for the winner, $5,000 for runner-up, and $2,000 each for protocol-specific teams. The hackathon reflects broader ecosystem efforts to make blockchain technology practical and accessible to mainstream audiences.
