This year's Upland’s Genesis Hackathon intends to set new standards in the Web3 and blockchain gaming sectors. Upland is organising the Upland’s Genesis Week event, which will shift away from its conventional methodology in favour of a more idea-centric competition. In an exciting change, the 2024 iteration will no longer need participants to present a functional prototype, allowing for a greater emphasis on developing company ideas and planning methods. Main Features of the Hackathon Upland is introducing SPARKLET, a solution designed to facilitate the integration of blockchain applications with blockchain technology. This new information comes at a time when the Web3 domain is seeing resuscitation, with blockchain gaming at the forefront of this trend. The Genesis Hackathon aims to capitalise on these successes by providing participants with a platform that allows them to establish and enhance the capabilities of their own digital communities. The hackathon challenges participants to use the Upland platform and its developer tools to build a new service, game, or experience. Participants will have ten days to prepare a business strategy that defines their aims and techniques. Because they are focused on clarity, originality, and practicality, these plans are critical in determining which teams will advance to the final round. Entries must be submitted by May 10th, 9 AM PT, with finalists notified by May 13th, 2024. Those who make it to the final round will submit detailed presentations, aiming for a spot to pitch live at the Genesis Week event. Form Submission for Hackathon.
