Hey HackerNoon Fam! We’re happy to announce the launch of the Web3 Development Writing Contest, brought to you by GetBlock and HackerNoon! Web3, as we know it today, has become central to mainstream technology discourse—and for good reason. Its potential applications are impossible to ignore, driving the 1,200 Web3 startup funding deals closed in Q1 2022 and the billions of dollars raised since 2020. However, potential alone is never enough. To usher in the future of the internet, as Web3 is often heralded to be, we must move fast and break things. And to do so we need better tools, smarter infrastructure, and projects built on strong fundamentals with clear use cases. GetBlock, a Web3 infrastructure platform and proud contest sponsor, is among the organizations bringing the future of Web3 closer. Furthering its commitment to the Web3 ecosystem, the Blockchain-as-a-Service platform has allocated a $5,000 prize pool for developers, blockchain advocates, and writers who can explore key aspects of Web3 development—like how blockchain nodes work, the best ways to scale dApps, multi-chain interoperability, and more—through the contest’s main categories: #blockchain-api
