On July 20th, ABGA (Asian Blockchain Gaming Alliance) and Klaytn, the largest public chain in South Korea, jointly launched the 2022 Blockchain Gaming Hackathon. Let's seize the day and live it to the full. We will witness the arrival of the next peak of Blockchain Gaming together in the hot summer!
We believe that Blockchain Gaming is a track that can bring fresh blood and vitality to the crypto world and can detonate the next round of cyclical prosperity. More and more traditional game developers and companies are paying attention and have begun to deploy Blockchain Gaming, and imaginative new game modes attract more and more traditional players. Blockchain Gaming is not just about GameFi and P2E; perhaps, a new Blockchain Gaming model is brewing.
The hackathon aims to unleash the potential of the gaming industry through blockchain technology, empowering and unlocking untapped potential beyond the Blockchain Gaming circuit, metaverse and NFT space. ABGA hopes to accelerate the development of Web 3.0 while promoting the Blockchain Gaming ecosystem and investing in future blue-chip Blockchain Gaming projects! This hackathon will have six types of awards (a total of ten slots). The first, second, and third prizes and special awards will be determined based on the participating teams' submitted materials. The total prize pool includes $90,000 in cash provided by Klaytn and $2 Million in investment. The winning team will be invited to participate in the Blockchain Gaming 2022 Summit held by ABGA in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, on September 26-27. The summit is co-organized by top organizations and representatives from the blockchain industry and will bring together pioneers/ enthusiasts/ developers/ experts, and academics in the Web3 space.
