XRPL Commons @ HAKS 2024
Join us at the HAKS Hackathon, an exclusive student-only event focused on blockchain innovation. It's a unique opportunity for students from all disciplines to collaborate, create, and compete. Build solutions on the XRPL to enter decentralized identity and extended use cases with EVM sidechain
Join us for the XRPL Commons HAKS hackathon organized with Telecom Sud Paris, where developers, blockchain enthusiasts, and XRPL aficionados will convene for 72 hours of intense coding, collaboration, and innovation. Dive into the XRPL ecosystem to explore new ideas and build innovative projects, with up to €7500 worth of prize pool, entry into our next Aquarium Residency cohort, and network with industry experts.
Participants in the “Positive Impact, AI & Blockchain” Hackathon 2024 are encouraged to channel their innovative prowess into the following thematic areas:
Reinventing insurance
Challenge: Traditional insurance models are often inefficient, plagued by lack of transparency, delayed claims processes, and high operational costs. This leads to a trust deficit between insurers and policyholders.
Identity management
Challenge: In the digital age, identity theft and data breaches are rampant, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations. Traditional identity management systems are centralized, making them vulnerable to attacks and privacy breaches.
ESG Data Collection
Challenge: Accurate and transparent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data collection is challenging. Companies often struggle with data integrity, verification, and reporting, leading to skepticism about the authenticity of their ESG claims.
Real-Estate Transactions
Challenge: Traditional financial systems are often restricted by geographical boundaries, have high entry barriers, and are subject to centralized control and regulation. This limits accessibility and innovation in financial services, especially for unbanked and underbanked populations.
