In a world filled with tech products to serve the daily consumer, there are multiple factors that help a product succeed. Velocity is one of them-

'How quickly can you ideate and build a product to solve a consumer problem or optimize a consumer's experience?'

From ideating on how to solve a common problem to working on a prototype to going to market with your product, velocity is a factor that can help you be the first in an already packed ecosystem of consumer applications.

Keeping that in mind, we want to put your speed and skills to the test. HackerEarth is hosting Hackccelerate 2020, a 72-hour hackathon where the themes will be revealed 72 hours before the end of the competition. So grab your coffee, snacks, and code your way to deliver an innovative tech product within 72 hours.

This hackathon is open to all developers who have an eye for design and a passion for coding & building tech products. Participants can either hack individually or as a team of up to four members.

Important Dates:

Hackathon Problem Statement Reveal: 15th October 2020
Hackathon Start Date: 15th October 2020 at 11:55 PM

Here's a hackathon for all BlockChain Enthusiasts and beginners!

HackAtom India: Build the Cosmos is the first Cosmos virtual hackathon for developers in India to begin their journey into the Cosmos ecosystem. Cosmos provides high-performance, flexible, and interoperable building blocks to create blockchains perfectly tailored for all types of applications from finance, computing, gaming, and more.

Themes of the hackathon include Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Interoperability, and Open innovation.

To get you started, participate in HackAtom week by attending these awesome workshops:

1) Building Multi-chain Smart-contracts using Cosmwasm by Ethan Fray, Founder at CosmWasm
14th September 2020 at 5:30 PM IST

2) Starport: The fastest way to launch a Cosmos blockchain by Denis Fadeev, Director of Developer Experience at Tendermint
15th September 2020 at 6:30 PM IST

3) Learn how to set up an Ethermint development environment and use Ethereum tooling on Ethermint! by Elizabeth Binks, Software Developer, Chainsafe

4) Powering DeFi using Cosmos SDK by Deepanshu Tripathi, CTO at Persistence One
17th September 2020 at 5:00 PM IST

While the human ability to come up with innovative applications is limitless, we often find ourselves encumbered by complicated blockchain frameworks that hinder our ability to create what our minds imagined. We believe the tools Cosmos provides change that, and we want to see what groundbreaking tools and applications you have to offer.
