On Wednesday, 2nd November we were delighted to host the Launch Event for the Metaverse Hackathon sponsored by OpenSea and Optimism and powered by Encode Club. This was the first of several events for this hackathon and it was aimed at people who want to build NFT and decentralised gaming projects.
Gratitude to the main hackathon sponsors OpenSea and Optimism, as well as Truffle and NiftyKit who are also sponsoring the hack and who dropped in to say hello.
🎓 In this event you had the opportunity to find out all info about this hackathon; the execution, important dates, upcoming workshops, submissions, technical and organizational support, challenges and more!
This 4-week hackathon is a great opportunity to learn, build and get onboarded into the any of our sponsors’ ecosystems, as well as win great prizes! We finish the hackathon with a finale event, where the best hackathon projects pitch to win top prizes!
