Happening from February 7-9, 2025, at the prestigious Mathematical Institute of Oxford University, this event promises to unleash a wave of creativity and collaboration within the decentralized ecosystem. Extreme Investor Network is excited to share that BNB Chain, recognized for its commitment to fostering blockchain innovation, is stepping up as a key sponsor, bringing with it an array of opportunities for tech enthusiasts and developers.
BNB Hacker House: A Hub for Innovation
In a gesture of support for the hackathon, BNB Chain is establishing a dedicated hacker house in the heart of Oxford. This space will be a sanctuary for developers passionate about building projects on the BNB Chain. Accommodation requests for this unique facility will be managed through the ETH Oxford application process, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants. Additionally, a public networking event on February 8 will feature complimentary coffee and breakfast, providing an invaluable opportunity for developers to connect and collaborate.
Unleashing Creativity: Innovation Opportunities and Prize Pool
ETH Oxford is set to dismantle the boundaries of technology, inviting participants to explore a range of innovations, with a particular emphasis on Decentralized Science (DeSci) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The hackathon’s $156,000 prize pool is bound to attract the brightest minds – with the top team walking away with a $2,500 cash prize, a $100,000 kickstart package, and an exclusive opportunity for a direct interview with the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Program by BNB Chain. For those diving into BNB Chain’s decentralized storage network, a special $1,000 bonus awaits for the best project developed on BNB Greenfield.
Workshops and Technical Sessions: Learn and Grow
Apart from the hackathon, participants will benefit from a specialized workshop led by BNB Chain. Scheduled for February 8 from 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM, this session will unravel the technical distinctions between Ethereum and the BNB Smart Chain, equipping developers with essential knowledge to navigate these ecosystems. Attendees will also receive a comprehensive introduction to the BNB Chain ecosystem, encouraging deeper engagement and understanding.
Criteria for Success: Project Submission and Scoring
To be eligible for the enticing rewards, projects submitted must be original developments deployed on or linked to the opBNB/BSC mainnet or testnet, with an open-source foundation. Participants will need to demonstrate practical engagement by ensuring at least two successful transactions during the hackathon timeline. Submission artifacts should include accessible GitHub repositories and demo videos, while the projects will undergo scrutiny based on contract verification, open-source code quality, documented plans, level of community engagement, and overall innovative design.
A Unique Opportunity Awaits
The ETH Oxford hackathon isn’t just another competition; it’s a unique gateway for developers to showcase their skills, forge connections, and engage with the vibrant blockchain community. Participants will have the chance to connect with a diverse group of leading developers, influential founders, and pioneering investors in the Web3 space – a perfect environment to catalyze the growth of the BNB Chain community and beyond.
