Activate x Wormhole Hackathon in Miami Application Guide

Activate x Wormhole Hackathon in Miami Application Guide

Activate x Wormhole Miami is the first multi-blockchain chain hackathon. It will unite Ethereum, Solana, StarkNet, Near, Algorand, Celo, Gnosis Chain, and more blockchain ecosystems for hacking, bootcamps, and learning. Activate is an inclusive event where everyone from artists to developers can build together with blockchain.

Activate is designed to be valuable for builders who are new to engineering and new to blockchain. By attending the blockchain bootcamps hosted on May 18th and 19th, you can get prepped with the tools you need to build during the hackathon. Bootcamps range from beginner to advanced and are designed to level up your skills quickly. There will be bounties and prizes for each track and each ecosystem, as well as Miami local impact prizes, UX/UI prizes, and more.

Hackers can participate IRL or virtually.

Getting Started

  1. BUILDers should submit their BUIDL projects via https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/25/detail. But before that, make sure that you already have an account.

Use the Sign in/up button at the upper right corner of the page to access the sign-up options.

Github, crypto wallet and email are supported for creating an account. For BUIDLers, we recommend you to connect the account to your github to make more people know what you are building at any time.

*You may be asked to receive a verification code via email. The email may take some time to arrive. No worries! The code will not expire in 10 minutes when you click “send code”.

2. Before the submission of DDL on May 22nd, please make sure you have added your Github link to the project. You can submit the project first, edit it later before the DDL.
