Polkadot is holding its largest hackathon at ETHDenver from February 11 to 20. The hackathon will include workshops, presentations, and a prize pool of $15,000.

Named BuiDLathon, the event invites the community to pitch and develop new parachains for their chance to win a share of the $15,000 prize pool. The amount will be split 50/50 between the in-person and virtual portions of the hackathon.

Polkadot has prepared a virtual and in-person event for the hackathon.

The in-person event is called ‘Pitch the Next Polkadot Parachain’, which involves a team creating a pitch deck with 15 slides maximum. It should present what a future Polkadot parachain could do and what problems it solves. In addition, it must be presented in a high-level fashion with solid technical overviews and a roadmap for the project’s future.

On the other hand, the virtual event is called ‘Build a Polkadot Parachain Using Substrate’. This involves entrants building a Layer-1 blockchain using Substrate. The entrants must consider its usefulness, accessibility, and other important details.

The hackathon will have mentors and judges, meet and greet opportunities, and scheduled talks from Polkadot ecosystem teams. Additionally, there will be workshops from W3F and Parity technologies.

Since 2018, ETHDenver has invited crypto and blockchain developers, enthusiasts, designers, cypher-punks, and anyone in the ecosystem interested in decentralized technologies to Denver, Colorado. ETHDenver’s intention is to build revolutionary projects for Web3 – the next phase of the internet.
