We're excited to announce Bolt-A-Thon 2! Back in April we hosted the first virtual Lightning Network conference and hackathon which resulted in 14 new Lightning projects and 300+ tickets sold. Bottlepay, one of the winners, even went on to raise [$2 MM afterwards](https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/40658/team-behind-bottle-pay-raises-2m-to-bring-bitcoin-lightning-network-payments-to-the-masses)!
With Bolt-A-Thon 2, we're bringing back the same format. The first part of our event will be a 3 day hackathon (Dec. 6-8) with a chance to win:
+ 1st - 0.2 BTC
+ 2nd - 0.15 BTC
+ 3rd - 0.1 BTC
*Hackers, please note that it costs 100 sats to register. We also have a new 2 round project assessment format.
The second part of our event will feature 8 top notch Lightning Network speakers (Dec. 7.) featuring Alex Bosworth, Lisa Neigut, Joost Jager, Brandon Curtis, Christian Decker, and Rusty Russell to start! Tickets are on sale now and are 100k sats per session.
The mission of the Bolt-A-Thon is to foster the global development of the Lightning Network. By hosting it online, we are able to make session tickets affordable and encourage developers all over the world to take a shot on building on Lightning.
If you've been curious about trying to build a Bitcoin application, there's no better time nor place than to do it at the Bolt-A-Thon 2. We are also partnering with Bottlepay to offer a bounty program of $250 per team just for building something with their API's! We hope you take a risk and join us to experience the exciting new opportunities Lightning brings!
