[APPROVED] Unblock Hackathon Sponsorship - India [APPROVED - $4k]

TLDR of the proposal:

Sponsorship of a virtual hackathon in India.

Detailed proposal - max 450 words, if more info is needed link to docs:
This hackathon is divided into 3 phases:

1. Learn - where devs will learn about partner blockchain platforms

2. Imagine - this is where teams get together and pitch their ideas

3. Create - a 10-day long hack.

Potential ROI/impact on the NEAR Ecosystem:

The idea here is to generate awareness about various projects that are built on blockchain and get more and more developers involved. The entire hackathon will wrap in 3 weeks.

One of the developers is in our education program. It’ll be an interesting experiment to see whether smaller hackathons can become self-sufficient.

Amount of funding:
$4,000 (that’s $3,000 for the sponsorship and $1,000 for bounties)

Project lead (internal/external):
Dani

Hey Dani! When is this hackathon happening (exact dates)? :slight_smile:

It has already started! It’s currently in the learning/conference stage (From March 4th-9th). Then the hackathon will last 10 days.

Hey Dani,

How did the Hackathon go (if you can recall/know!) ?

Did we see anything sweet come from the $1k bounty?
