Boston's first ever Bitcoin Hackathon

Our last EasyA x Stacks hackathon didn't just attract hundreds of builders who lined up round the block on early Saturday morning to build on Bitcoin and get their chance to win a share of the $25,000 in prize money up for grabs. It also led to over 50 projects being built on bitcoin with Stacks, many of which are now raising funding to continue taking their projects to the next level.

So, given last hackathon's roaring success, we're back! This time, we'll be inviting 200 builders from across the US to hack with us at the world's best university, Harvard. This will be your chance to build on bitcoin and tap into the $1 trillion in latent capital currently waiting for developers.

If you've always been fascinated by Bitcoin, you'll be even more fascinated by the opportunities Stacks and Hiro unlock for developers.

Make sure you sign up as soon as possible to secure your spot at Boston's first ever Bitcoin hackathon!
