On Wednesday, 7th September we were delighted to host the Introduction to IPFS & Filecoin workshop for our Encode x ETHSafari Hackathon. This was the third event in the series, and its focus was on introducing the IPFS and Filecoin to the hackers and showing them how to use them for their projects.
Big thanks to Jenks Guo from Filecoin Foundation for holding the presentation!
This 3-week hackathon is a great opportunity to learn, build and get onboarded into the Ethereum ecosystem, as well as win great prizes! We finish the hackathon with a finale event, where the best hackathon projects pitch to win top prizes!
The project submission date is on Thursday, 15th September, whereas the Finale and Prizegiving event will be held on Thursday, 22nd September.
🎟 The continuation of this series is today (Wednesday), 7th September with Tenderly Technical Workshop Part 2. You can register for the event here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/411860133747
