Harvard's biggest blockchain hackathon

The vechain x EasyA hackathon, held right on Harvard's campus, attracted developers from all across the US (including one team from flying in all the way from the UK) to compete for $46,000 in prize money.

From the 500,000 square foot venue at the centre of Harvard's campus to the 250+ developers who attended, this was a truly remarkable hackathon.

Over the course of two days, we hosted workshops with developers who flew in from all over the US, Europe and Asia to showcase vechain's revolutionary new technologies.

Co-hosted with the Harvard Blockchain Research Labs, this event attracted world-class developers from other incredible universities such as Princeton, Yale, Penn and Stanford as well as top companies from Meta to Google.
