Each competition has seen a growing number of participating projects, It can be seen that the Hackathon hosted by the OneBlock+ community continues to be popular among developers, and the popularity and popularity of the Polkadot Hackathon reached a leap in 2023.

With all the operational experience and marketing success on the Polkadot Hackathon, OneBlock proposes to continue the Polkadot Hackathon program in July 2024 to Nov 2024, an essential part of the Substrate and Polkadot promotion and adoption initiatives in APAC,to promote Substrate as an open-source framework for developers and convert the Substrate learners from OneBlock’s ongoing Substrate courses to Substrate builders. Our goal is to encourage teams of developers to create projects and join the Polkadot ecosystem for long-term involvement.

Additionally, Oneblock+ hopes to bring the Polkadot hackathon to Singapore and Bangkok in the second half of 2024, which will not only perfectly align with the token2049 conference in September and the Devcon conference in November, but also consolidate our efforts over the past year to continuously attract developers from all over Asia to build on Polkadot.We funds are used to host, prize,organize the 2024 Polkadot Hackathon in Singapore and Bangkok,and the operating cost is 30% of the total cost, and 70% fees is distributed to the winning team as rewards.
