Welcome to the Blockchain for Social Impact Hackathon, a.k.a. the first BSIC Decentralized Impact Accelerator.
The Blockchain for Social Impact Coalition (BSIC) is hosting a global month long virtual hackathon with 600+ participants focused on building blockchain-based solutions for issues around Financial Inclusion, Supply Chain, Identity & Vulnerable Populations, and Energy & Environment. BSIC was created to address these and other humanitarian use cases. We believe that Blockchain technology allows us to innovate systems and solve issues relating to identity, governance, equality and more.
In partnership with Mapua University & the launch of the new Yuchengco Innovation Center, BSIC invites you to watch the teams from the Philippines (Prodigy, LifeMesh, and LifeBlocks) present their ideas & prototype solutions to a panel of blockchain experts & mentors, as they compete in one of the largest decentralized impact accelerators in the world.
