Hackathon Ethereum Rio 2022

Written By Conor Brady

After amazing events such as Bootcamp, Launchpad, Main event, and Open day, we closed Ethereum Rio with a Hackathon. 

It was an amazing experience, with more than 100 participants with a total of 24 in person teams. Thanks to Fabrica de Startups we had a great infrastructure including a sleeping room and good internet. Ethereum.Rio also provided free food and refreshments.

We believe that this type of event can really accelerate the growth of the LatAm ecosystem, both impacting direct social causes, and also innovating on the tech edge field. That is why we had two different tracks: Open Track and Social Track. We also give an extra Ethereum.Rio Impact Prize. 



Ethereum Rio Hackathon participants:
