The Hackathon will hold five events all around the world, with $1.5 million worth of prizes. In the first hackathon held at the iconic Kai Tak Crusie Terminal in Victoria Harbour, $144,000 of prizes were awarded to participants. The top three prize winners from each of the four hackathons will compete in the Grand Finale pitch competition in December — location still unknown.

A member of the IDPASS team, Paul Wehner, said:
“We’re incredibly thrilled to be a part of the EOSIO global developer community. Our aim is to keep building IDPASS as an open-source project and to collaborate with humanitarian agencies to bring healthcare, educational, financial and legal services to the undocumented.”
The next EOS hackathon will be held in Sydney, Australia on August 4th and 5th.
