The future is web3: a digital world that is censorship-resistant, decentralized, and trustless. A web where users control their own data and identity.
HackFS is an ETHGlobal hackathon focused on building the foundation for that world. We've partnered with Protocol Labs - the organization building Filecoin and IPFS - to run an event centered on dapps, web3, decentralized storage, and everything in between.
We're also working with partners across the Ethereum and Filecoin ecosystems to ensure that hackers have a wide variety of composable technologies to use to build their hacks.
At ETHGlobal, we're building on the success of HackMoney, our recent DeFi hackathon that spawned 120 projects. Like that event, HackFS will offer the highest caliber white-glove experience for developers, as they identify problems to work on, design solutions, build their hack, and present it to judges and eventually the whole web3 community.
At HackFS, you'll have the support of a huge community of experts, mentors, sponsors, developer advocates, and other community members who want to help you build something awesome.
We'll introduce you to teammates, connect you with mentors, unblock technical problems, and help you deliver a working product that pushes the web3 ecosystem forward.
Be part of a global community of developers aligned around a vision for a better decentralized internet.
All event times are listed in Eastern Time (UTC-4).
