This is a 48-hours chain agnostic builder focused hackathon designed to be a showcase of the local Web3 devs and entrepreneurs. The hackathon will be hosted on DoraHacks platform. **About the organizers** Epic Web3 is a team of passionate event organisers with 8 years experience in making conferences & communities. Last year alone we organised 10 events for Web3 developers in 6 different countries. **About the hackathon** The hackathon will accommodate 200+ builders including Web3 developers (70%), Web3 curious Web2 developers (20%) and non-dev builders – designers, marketers, product managers etc (10%). Most builders will come from the local community although we will provide a few travel stipends for those coming from mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. The hackathon is open both for new and existing projects encouraging early stage startups to compete alongside with solo developers. Experienced hackers who have a proven track record at any previous hackathons will get a free BlockShow ticket. All hackers receive free meal tickets. The bounty pool will include 3 main track prizes and up to 10 sponsored bounties adding up to $50k in prizes. Each sponsor will contribute towards the bounty pool. Winners of the hackathon get a chance to join the Cointelegraph accelerator. **Funding request** We are requesting $5,000 for bounties/prizes. **Other info** Hackathon deck with all the details - https://docsend.com/view/c8hmrg758pwzy8m7 Hackathon website - https://blockshow.cointelegraph.com/blockdown-asia2024/hackathon/
