Venom Foundation has teamed up with DoraHacks, Developer DAO, and Hacken to launch its first-ever virtual hackathon. The event aims to equip developers with all the tools and resources necessary to start building on the Venom blockchain. While registrations begin on the 27th of April 2023, the hackathon is set to kick off on the 8th of May, 2023.

The hackathon comes on the heels of Venom’s testnet launch, which went live earlier this week. This is a significant development that will welcome a new influx of users and developers. The testnet will further allow developers to test and debug dApps and blockchain protocols, while also providing users with a firsthand experience of these dApps. The ultimate goal of the testnet is to promote innovation and community building within the ecosystem. It will pave the way for more significant events, with the hackathon being the first of many.

Venom’s organizing partner for the hackathon is DoraHacks, the global hackathon organizer and one of the most active Web3 developer incentive platforms. Meanwhile, Developer DAO and Hacken will provide marketing and incentives support.

Developers, both individuals and teams, will be able to submit their applications after the opening ceremony. Participants will be required to submit their projects before the 10th of June, 2023. Once project submissions are complete, they will be evaluated by a panel of judges, all with their own individual expertises. Some of the most notable being Peter Knez, Ex CIO Blackrock, and David Atkinson, the co-founder Holochain.
