A hackathon is an event which is designed to use coding as its primary source of technical skill to accomplish a certain objective. Hackathons have taken the world by storm, fostering development of useful products and moving huge amounts of money.
In 2020, on the 9th October, as the world was reeling under the weight of the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Blockchain Hackathon organized the Babylon Project, where a global community of blockchain developers and enthusiasts came together under one roof to celebrate the blockchain technology with the vision of empowering the developers and builders by democratizing access to capital, mentorship and above all, knowledge. The hackathon mainly focused on imparting quality education, empowerment and elevating the next generation of developers and builders.
The Hackathon has been a huge success with more than 1000 participants from across 69 countries where the female participation was recorded at 30 percent.
