Empowering Web3 Innovation in
MENA
The DMCC and Bybit hackathon stands to
unleash the transformative potential of blockchain and Web3
technologies in solving real-world problems. From tokenization, and
security, to AI applications, the all-encompassing line-up of
competing projects stirred up incredible innovative power in the
Web3 space in the region.
“The DMCC and Bybit Hackathon speaks volumes about
Dubai’s wealth of talent,” said Helen Liu, COO of Bybit. “We
initially planned to present 10 top projects on Pitch Day, but had
to extend the program by 50% because it was not possible to make
further cuts. Together with DMCC, we are proud to be nurturing
the brilliant talent emerging from MENA and enriching Dubai’s
blockchain ecosystem.”
The 15 project teams range from
on-chain philanthropy to safety, covering key aspects crucial to
the foundation and the future of Web3.
With a prize pool exceeding 160,500
USDT, Web3 Unleashed offers more than just financial rewards.
Winners gain access to exclusive acceleration programs, security
audits, and invaluable industry mentorship. The 15 projects that
made it to Pitch Day will be presented to the best of the best in
the industry, and online to over 33,000 global viewers.
In Aug. 2024, Bybit and DMCC announced
the furthering of their
strategic partnership to cement Dubai’s role as the Web3
capital of the world. The annual hackathon is part of the
initiatives to energize the blockchain space and set innovation in
motion in the region.
