Furthermore, the summit will host a 2-day blockchain hackathon where several teams, who registered, will battle for the opinions of the judges based on originality, feasibility and benefits of their initiative.The theme of the hackathon is obviously not revealed yet for competitive reasons, but we know that both decentralized and distributed solutions will be considered.
