DIF Hackathon

Join Us this fall for a Transformative Hackathon Experience!

The Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking hackathon in October 2024, coinciding with Hacktoberfest. This event will focus on harnessing the power of decentralized identity across key sectors: Education, Reusable Identity, and Travel.

Who should participate?
We invite experienced developers and product managers to participate in two entry styles:

  • Applications with Code Provided
  • Idea Submissions (including engineering approaches and components used)

Why Sponsor?
This is a unique opportunity for companies to pioneer challenges, attract top-tier talent, and deepen their grasp of how Decentralized Identity (DI) can revolutionize identity solutions. Sponsors will have the chance to showcase their products and SDKs through educational sessions promoted by DIF, amplifying visibility and engagement within the developer community.

Technical Requirements
While challenges are not obligated to use DIF work items, they must incorporate Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) adhering to open standards at the W3C.

Hacking Period: October 1st - November 3rd 2024
