RWA Tokenization Hackathon

What is RWA Tokenization Hackathon?

This event is a mix between a hackathon (focused on technical solutions and Proof of Concepts) and an ideathon (focused on business strategy and innovative ideas). Participants will work on blockchain-related challenges, particularly in the area of Real-World Asset tokenization.

Who can attend RWA Tokenization Hackathon?

Both students and skilled professionals are welcome. We also encourage non-Web3 native participants, as we will offer workshops to onboard them to blockchain technologies.

What if I don’t have a team but want to participate?

No worries! If you register individually, we’ll match you with a team based on your skills and preferences. However, the whole event will be done in a team so registering with one saves you time.

Will there be different tracks for technical and non-technical participants?

Yes, there will be two different challenges that you can solve and two primary tracks: one focused on developing a technical Proof of Concept (PoC) and another focused on creating a business strategy.

Can I bring a guest to the event?

No. All attendees must apply to the event individually.

I was accepted but can't attend the event, what do I do?

Please let us know. Spots are limited and it would be nice if another candidate could go instead (but no, you cannot choose who that candidate might be).

Will there be a live stream from the event?

Yes, live streaming will be available. The feed will be focused on the activities taking place in person, for both the opening and closing ceremonies. 

Why is the official language English?

Although most of our participants are based in Portugal, we have attendees coming from all over the world. English is usually well understood and accepted. Our main motivation is technology and talent, and these are global attributes, so our main 'language' is what we use to code. 

Is there Wi-Fi at the event?

The main Wi-Fi at our university is eduroam which might be difficult for you if you're not a student. 

What are these other activities?

The main activity is, of course, the hackathon competition, where your team works on a project during the week and presents it on the final day. Throughout the week we will have different workshops to have you acquainted with the biggest variety of topics covering the challenges.

How can I participate in these other activities?

You will be provided with a link before the event so you can register for those of your interest.

Does that mean I can invite someone who's not attending RWA Tokenization Hackathon?

No. The other members in your team must also be approved attendees. And to be approved they must apply for the event (individually).

Are there prizes for winning one of these activities?

Yes, participants in our hackathon will have the opportunity to compete for two distinct awards: one for the best business strategy and another for the best proof of concept, recognizing both innovative thinking and technical execution.
