The biggest annual bootcamp and hackathon series in Vietnam, Web3 Hackfest, is having its inaugural edition in 2023 both online and offline in Ho Chi Minh City. From August to October 2023, a series of multichain developer bootcamps, university tours, workshops and hackathons will take place for startup builders, developers and creators to dive deep into multiple ecosystems in Web3. The bootcamp series will cover Rust and Substrate.

As a leading blockchain ecosystem with an expansion strategy in the APAC region, Polkadot is the Title Sponsor of Web3 Hackfest 2023 with a Substrate bootcamp and a hackathon. Besides the given common tracks, Polkadot is sponsoring a specific track tailored for Polkadot's challenges and development.

$27,000 Polkadot Track: Use Polkadot's top-notch tech stacks and solve one of these six challenges with your brilliant ideas: build an app-specific chain using Substrate SDK, build an application using ink! language, build a dev tool, build a DEX aggregator or build an NFT social platform.
