Win prizes, get onstage for a live “Dragon’s Den” with crypto titans, and most importantly… have fun building!</p> <p>The hackers are expected to build on NEAR and present an MVP of a product that focuses on one of the 7 NEARCON’s panels:</p> <ul> <li><p>Future of finance – DeFi apps and features</p></li> <li><p>Sustainability – blockchain solutions for green tech and environment</p></li> <li><p>Governance – decentralizing NEAR protocol; making DAO useful in real world</p></li> <li><p>Future of work – edu tech on blockchain; job market solutions for Web3 professionals and beyond</p></li> <li><p>Web2 to Web3 – bootstrapping “traditional” apps and tools on blockchain</p></li> <li><p>Technical content – tooling, documentation and tutorials</p></li> <li><p>Creators – utility on top of NFTs</p></li> </ul> <p>Teams of size 1-5 from all backgrounds are welcome to apply. As space is limited, priority will be given to early applicants with clear credentials, strong intentions to attend in person, and produce a great Web3 hack! Let’s build!</p> <p><a href="https://irlnearconhackathon.splashthat.com/">https://irlnearconhackathon.splashthat.com/</a><br> <a href="https://nearcon-irl-hackathon.devpost.com/">https://nearcon-irl-hackathon.devpost.com/</a></p> hackathon javascript rust
