The UK Centre for Blockchain Technologies is proud to sponsor the upcoming EasyA x Ripple Hackathon, set to take place in the heart of London. Ripple and EasyA are offering a substantial prize fund of £20,000 to foster innovation and support the next generation of FinTech pioneers.

This hackathon places a special emphasis on the use of the XRP technology, including the XRP Ledger EVM. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with tools like Solidity and Remix, offering a hands-on experience with cutting-edge blockchain technology.

The hackathon is open to coders and non-coders. We encourage participation from a diverse range of backgrounds, including students, professionals, and enthusiasts with or without coding expertise.  There will even be a special prize category for non-technical participants.

Participants will benefit from the presence of experts from Ripple and the broader FinTech community. These industry leaders will provide valuable insights, mentorship, and support throughout the event. 

The hackathon will also serve as a fertile ground for networking with peers, industry experts, and potential investors. It's an invaluable opportunity for anyone looking to make their mark in the world of FinTech.
