Addy Crezee, founder of BlockShow by Cointelegraph, said:“The event we are bringing to Hong Kong on May 8–9 is bundled with a number of engaging and valuable activities, and a hackathon is definitely one of them. Developers are the fuel of Web3, and we are super excited to contribute with talents and new projects coming out after these 48 hours. Join us this May!”

The second is “tooling and infra,” which aims to build for the Web3 developer community.Epic ETH Infra Day in Istanbul, November 2023. Source:

The final day of the event, May 9, will include a pitching workshop and the submission of the projects. A pitching competition and awards ceremony for the best entries will close out the event.
