DECENT, the company behind its proprietary blockchain platform, DCore, and creators of the highly successful mobile blockchain app store, ALAX, decided to pick Berlin, Germany as the second destination for its Blockchain Pioneers Hackathon, this time titled Blockchain4Good: Shaping Smart Sustainable Cities for the Future, after the successful May premiere in Bratislava.

DECENT chose the capital of Germany, Berlin, which is nowadays known as the hub for blockchain – a young but bright star on the rise in the world of this progressive technology – and such rising technologies need constantly new ideas. The exposure comes in form of hackathons, sprint-like events for IT enthusiasts who compete to come up with the best creative projects.

The event lasted two and a half days, from July 20-22. As for the location, DECENT partnered with Impact Hub Berlin, an immense co-working space. Together, they welcomed more than 60 attendees, which was much more than anticipated. For more than 70 hours, 5 teams competed to win 20,000 DCT, a collaboration and mentoring opportunity with DECENT, and a trip to Shanghai to attend an iconic annual blockchain gathering, Shanghai International Blockchain Week, courtesy of DECENT’s new partner, Wanxiang Blockchain Labs....
