Mindanao Blockchain Hub to Organize Its First Blockchain Hackathon

(Davao City, Philippines) April 17, 2019 – Kadena Hub, the blockchain hub in Davao City is the venue for the upcoming Blockathon, a hackathon for blockchain technology in Mindanao.

The event is a 24-hour hackathon that aims to develop a blockchain innovation project as a final product or prototype. It is encouraged that a team is composed of a programmer, a marketer, a business development/sales officer, and a designer to bring the idea to life. Mentors will be present to guide the teams while doing their prototypes.

At the end of the hackathon, the team must come up with at least a working prototype of their application/idea. There is no need for a full code. The team must show their solution, how it works, and how they plan to market it.

The blockchain hackathon is scheduled on May 18, 2019 at the Kadena Hub (Mabini St., corner Araullo St. in Davao City). There is a registration fee of Php 500 per team. Interested persons may also join the Blockathon Training on April 12 – 13, 2019 at the University of Southeastern Philippines.

Kadena Hub is a coworking space that is set to incubate startups and blockchain projects in Mindanao. An earlier report mentioned that it has a 120-person capacity.

Kadena Hub is a Traxion project under its “One Mindanao” Program. In an earlier statement, TraXion CEO Ann Cuisia said the hub aims to “enable startup access to new technologies, digital assets, network, market, mentorship, and funding.”

The Blockathon at Kadena Hub is organized by AGILab, Traxion, and Devcon.
