And to celebrate the final stretch of this hackathon, Faber and Protocol Labs have some swag to offer. The first 50 people to talk to Carlos or Francisco during our virtual beer hour will get free Protocol Labs swag.

Tomorrow, 4pm GMT on the spaceship!

Updated rules

Hi everyone.

In accordance with the latest sanctions list, we can no longer accept hackathon participants domiciled in Russia. The rules have been updated accordingly.

While we regret not being able to accept Russian domiciled hackathon participants, we believe that sanctions are a necessary contribution towards stopping the unacceptable violence and restoring peace in Ukraine.
