The Bitfinex Hackathon; London, July 20-22, 2018

We are pleased to announce the ‘Bitfinex Hackathon‘ - a global hackathon series intended to foster innovation and development within the decentralised digital asset space.

The first location is London, United Kingdom (July 20–22nd). We kindly invite all developers and trading enthusiasts to join us and we hope to see you there.

The Bitfinex Hackathon

Featuring workshops, presentations and seminars by key blockchain developers and industry thought leaders, the Bitfinex Hackathon is an event designed around collaboration, innovation and open-source development.

Overview

The first Bitfinex Hackathon will take place July 20–22nd in London, United Kingdom. Participation in the event is entirely free, with food, drinks and essential development resources covered by Bitfinex.

Anyone with a passion for decentralised and open-source development is free to attend. Spots are limited and applications are judged based on interest in the field and demonstrated ability to contribute or teach something unique.

We thrive on creativity and building without constraints. There are no requirements in place for your hack and you are free to prepare as you wish; however, the Bitfinex API documentation is a good place to start.
