About the challenge

Do you want to build a dApp that seems impossible? Looking for a blockchain that aims to challenge what you can do as a developer?

Built on top of 35 years of research and 15 years of practical implementation, Partisia Blockchain is the world's first blockchain that blends research based privacy technology (MPC) with a scalable and interoperable blockchain architecture. If you are looking for a challenging project that will take your perspective on trust, design and product skills to the next level, take on this hackathon challenge!

See for yourself how to make what is impossible on other blockchains possible through our hackathon.

  • If you developed an app you need to provide an environment or a public URL where we can run the deployed application.
