The Sovereign Data Hackathon starts today!
Sovereign Data Hackathon starts October 7, 2021

This week Facebook went dark, serving to remind the world of the importance of decentralized identity, sovereign data, and Web3 application architectures. A user-centric data architecture is key to building Web3 applications: one where data is hosted on a decentralized network, stored with individual users, written and queried by applications client-side, and reusable across applications.

Hack the sovereign web

Kicking off today, the Sovereign Data Hackathon is a virtual event that runs for two weeks, from October 7th to October 21st, and brings together developers, product owners, and designers from around the world to help build the future of Web3 data applications.

There's still time to register. Sign up for the hackathon here.

Along with co-sponsors Figment, Radicle, Chainlink, Gnosis, Mask Network, Unstoppable Domains, Fluence Network and 3Box Labs – we're offering:

  • $10,000+ in prizes
  • 2 weeks of workshops, talks, and online community events

Challenges & Prizes

Bounties will reward teams that creatively develop awesome applications on Ceramic's sovereign data stack, but also those that expand the open source ecosystem of standards, tools, and integrations around it. For an example of some tools created by the community that are featured extensively in this hackathon, check out DataModels, Glaze, and Self.ID.

Bounties will be offered in three tracks during the #SovereignData hackathon:
