On Monday, 7th June we were delighted to host the Getting Multi-chain Web3 Data with One Unified API workshop for our Encode x Polygon Hackathon. This was the sixth event in the series, and it was aimed at hackers who are dedicated to building on the Polygon protocol.
Big thanks to Leibing Guo from Covalent for making this workshop possible!
This 4-week hackathon is a great opportunity to learn, build and get onboarded into the Polygon 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 Sunday, 19th June, whereas the Finale and Prizegiving event will be held on Tuesday, 12th July.
