LATAM Onchain Open Hack

What is LATAM Onchain Open Hack?

LATAM Onchain Open Hack is a free, virtual Web3 hackathon spanning 4-weeks of technical talks, workshops, competitions, and coding. 200+ participants will enjoy workshops, demos, community events, learning opportunities, and endless development for 4 weeks. The goal is to build something of value that integrates Base Blockchain, SQD Network, and will be an open source project.

Who should participate in LATAM Onchain Open Hack?

LATAM Onchain Open Hack is targeted at creative minds with a hacker spirit (in the classical definition of the word). Anyone with a technical profile is welcome to apply, not only engineers (eg. web designers are welcome too).

What does Onchain mean?

"Onchain" refers to data, transactions, or activities that occur directly on a blockchain network. When something is onchain, it means it is recorded, verified, and stored on the blockchain, ensuring transparency, immutability, and security. This contrasts with "offchain," which involves activities or data managed outside the blockchain, often to reduce costs or increase speed. Onchain operations are fundamental to decentralized systems, where trust and verification are maintained by the distributed network of nodes.

Who can Register?

LATAM Onchain Open Hack is open to anyone and everyone that wants to build something amazing with Web3 & Open Source technologies. While we don't take applications, we encourage talented hackers based in LATAM to register and build the best solutions possible together with your friends, colleagues, and team members.

How much does it cost?

LATAM Onchain Open Hack is free for everyone.

Can I register our company employees in bulk?

No. Candidates must register individually.

Do I have to build something to register?

Yes. Only builders that plan to dedicate their time and energy building something should register for the hackathon. Our workshops and all pitches will be available for non-registrants either during or after the event to view.

Will the workshops & ceremonies be recorded?

Unless the speaker states otherwise, every talk will be recorded and available online in the weeks following the event.

Why is the official language English?

Although most of our participants are from LATAM, we have builders participating 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. English is not the only language at the event, though. The event is bilingual, so there may be talks held and content released in Spanish. These will be properly identified in the event's schedule.

Do I get a participation certificate at the end?

Yes, we can provide participation certificates on demand in the days following LATAM Onchain Open Hack. Just make sure you actually participate & submit a viable project.
