Goooood morning, Mumbai: Inside the ETHMumbai Hackathon!
Welcome to the vibrant world of ETHMumbai, where we build from Mumbai for the world!
Last weekend, Mumbai hosted their inaugural Ethereum hackathon, setting the stage for a thrilling showcase of talent, creativity, and technological prowess. From the electrifying inauguration, pulsating with traditional drum beats, to the bustling venue adorned with fragments of Bombay's soul, every moment was a testament to the city's vibrant spirit and the boundless potential of Ethereum technology.
Join us as we embark on a journey through the heart of Mumbai's blockchain revolution, celebrating the ingenuity and passion of our BUIDLers community.
And...Action!
With over 300 hackers in attendance, the event buzzed with collaborative energy and the eager anticipation of cool hacks. The organizers spared no effort in ensuring that the builders felt welcomed and prepared to embark on their projects. The builders were all in, diving deep into over 10 hours of hands-on workshops, getting into the nitty-gritty of blockchain tech, and leveling up their skills with some serious guidance from the pros. 🙌
ETHMumbai was graced by an impressive lineup of judges and speakers, including Denver Dsouza and Preet Parekh from Devfolio. Alongside engaging discussions and inspiring talks, their presence added a special spark to the event, fueling the fire of innovation on Ethereum.
The hackathon also had over 20 hours of online workshops, ensuring no one missed out on the action. Whether you were halfway across the globe or just couldn't make it in person, you could still join in on the fun and level up your skills.
The stakes were high too! With over $25k in prizes up for grabs, teams were fired up and ready to go above and beyond.
