Hedera21 Hackathon: Call for Developers to Build the Future of Asset Tokenization, Beginning January 19th, 2021

A hackathon fully dedicated to building fast, fair and secure tokenization applications that take full advantage of the newly released Hedera Token Service.

WhatHedera Hashgraph, the enterprise-grade distributed ledger, is hosting Hedera21 – a virtual hackathon to showcase the tokenization of digital or physical assets. Hedera announced the hackathon with an open call for developers to build applications on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), with an opportunity to win over $35,000 USD in HBAR rewards.

There is vast potential in the tokenization of assets to make business processes more efficient, as well as opening up new revenue streams. HTS simplifies the issuance of native tokens, while ditching congestion and high gas fees. This comes with the added guarantee of network stability, as facilitated by Hedera’s decentralized governing body of global organizations.

Soon, Hedera will announce this year’s roster of challenges, which will offer additional prizes that are up for grabs. There’s no limit to the number of sponsor challenges you can participate in, but it is essential to use the Hedera Token Service for a chance to win.

When: January 19th, 2021 until February 12th, 2021.

Closing Ceremonies will take place on March 2nd, 2021.
