BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem that includes the world’s largest smart contract blockchain by daily transactions, has announced the upcoming BNB Hack Bangkok, an offline hackathon set to take place from November 9-10, 2024. The event which is sponsored by World of Dypians, Seraph, Cleverse, and Hooked Protocol, invites blockchain developers, innovators, and enthusiasts to join a two-day intensive hacking session in the vibrant city of Bangkok.

Taking place at the 44/1 Rungrojthanakul 16-storied building in Huai Khwang, Bangkok, this hackathon is designed to foster creativity and technical innovation. Developers are encouraged to begin working on their projects ahead of the event to maximize their chances of success, with early preparation giving participants a valuable edge.
The BNB Hack Bangkok is not just about competition; it’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the blockchain space. With multiple challenge tracks available, developers can choose from a range of topics tailored to both seasoned developers and newcomers to the ecosystem. Key tracks include building a Telegram Mini App for BNB Chain, creating an Innovative Trading Aggregator, and developing an Open-Source Real World Asset (RWA) Platform for real estate transactions.
Key Dates:
- Registration opened on October 22, 2024, allowing developers to sign up and start working on their projects immediately.

With a $230,000 prize pool, developers will compete for substantial rewards across two main categories: the BNB Chain Challenge prize pool of $218,000, and a Sponsor Challenge Track offering $12,000. The challenges will focus on high-impact solutions that drive adoption and innovation within the BNB Chain ecosystem.
The top-ranked project will receive $7,000 USDT, along with a Kickstart package worth $100,000, opportunities for an MVB interview and BIA demo, and one month of technical support.
