Like with all developer events, team want to provide as much value to participants as possible. Encode Hack Club is no different. The hackathon will start with 5 weeks of learning. Throughout this segment, Ava Labs, the team building Avalanche, will lead technical workshops to inspire great results. After the learning phase is over, the hackathon will round out the remaining 5 weeks of the program. Throughout the program, Ava Labs and Encode team members will be available to provide technical support and feedback on the Avalanche Discord.
Since Avalanche mainnet launched on September 21, team’ve bootstrapped efforts to bring new developers onto the platform; Avalanche-X grants, community growth efforts, tutorials and dev tools, and technical programming all kicked into high gear with room for more. To date, MoneyDance, Avalanche’s virtual event merging a hackathon, summit, and demo day all into one streamlined experience, has nearly 200 hackathon participants and over 1,000 summit registrants–with keynotes and workshops from leading industry experts like Sergey Nazarov, Co-founder of Chainlink, Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX, Kendrick Nguyen, CEO of Republic, and more.
Today, team’re excited to unveil involvement as Gold Partners for a university-focused blockchain hackathon, Encode, one of the leaders in the university hackathon space.
