Hackwasm is a hackathon focused on product, solution or protocol development based on Cosmwasm and all the projects that use it (Juno, Osmosis, Stargaze)

Cosmos is a whole crypto ecosystem specialized in the interoperability among chains. Some of its most notorious features are the IBC (inter Blockchain comunication), cosmos SDK and Cosmwasm.

 In short, CosmWasm is a smart contract module that can be used with Cosmos SDK. It runs the Web Assembly (or Wasm) virtual machine, allowing developers to create smart contracts in various languages. Currently, it supports smart contracts written in Rust

The event will take place from the 1st to 3rd of October and it will go on 48 straight hours (yes, night included) on the frame of cosmoverse (26th to 28th of September) in Medellín, Colombia. The place where it will take place is Av. El Poblado #1-50, Medellín, El Poblado, Medellín, Antioquia

As main sponsors, we have Juno Network, Confío Osmosis and Stargaze.

We look for developers with good ideas and eager to learn, that have some crypto knowledge and want to connect with leaders of the crypto and blockchain industry.

You got extra points if you’ve got knowledge of the user-facing crypto market and know several programming languages (Rust and Go have the advantage)

You’ll be able to network with the field’s leaders, know an ecosystem in constant growing and develop your idea in a safe and fun space while eating pizza.

If you are a developer and have never heard of Cosmos or Cosmwasm, we recommend the following sources of information:

1. https://tutorials.cosmos.network/academy/0-welcome/
2. https://epicenter.tv/episodes/457/ (interview: Ethan Frey)
3. https://confio.gmbh/
4. https://docs.cosmwasm.com/dev-academy/intro
5. https://vimeo.com/740676319

We expect the event to generate a lot of interest, and there are only about 100 spots. According to this, every aspiring atendee will have to get through a filter that will finish on September 4th. You can do it here https://4a6ddqkdgm5.typeform.com/to/VTwyInS3?typeform-source=t.co

We have around 50.000 USD in prizes for the winning teams
