Thursday, March 28, 2024

William Wang, a third-year undergraduate student, earned one of the top prizes at ETHDenver, held from February 23 to March 3, 2024.

ETHDenver is a blockchain-focused conference that organizes panel discussions, workshops, and bootcamps. It is dubbed as the largest and longest-running Ethereum event in the world—with this year drawing 20,000 attendees from 120 countries. Their biggest event is #BUIDLathon: a hackathon where attendees team up to build their own blockchain projects.

The teams must submit their projects under five tracks such as Infrastructure + Scalability or Identity + Privacy + Security. During the first round, they will present their project to a panel of 50 community judges, who will select three winners from each track. The top 15 finalists are invited to ETHDenver’s closing ceremony and pitch to a panel of five celebrity judges. Each judge will choose one winner from each track.
