Inspiration

I love block chain technology and am an investor in some erc20 tokens which is where I got the idea!

What it does

The website creates a hub for admins to distribute tokens and for users to spend tokens. "This tokens usecase is exclusive to particpants and winners of any Major League Hacking Hackathon. The idea behind this token is to award it to people participating in mini-events, competitions, or workshops. The tokens will be stored to a wallet created specifically for a user upon creation of an account. This token will then be used to purchase cool MLH merch! Spend your tokens how you want to! "
