Web3 and AI Unstoppable Hackathon | Unstoppable Domains & AWS

Amazon Web Services and Unstoppable Domains are co-sponsoring a global, virtual hackathon targeting Web3 startups, Crypto Wallet providers and dApps companies! We want to see our participants get creative using emerging generative AI and blockchain technology to either add to their existing product or create a new product.

Founded in 2018, Unstoppable Domains is at the forefront of user-owned digital identity, offering blockchain-based Web3 domains that provide full ownership and control over digital identities without renewal fees. With over 3.9M domain registrations, Unstoppable's domains enable users to replace complex wallet addresses with human-readable names and facilitate seamless login interactions across a wide array of apps, wallets, and platforms, build a profile, send messages and more.

In reward, we're giving out $190k in Unstoppable and AWS Credits*!

 

*To receive AWS credits, projects must separately qualify for AWS Activate. Participation in AWS Activate is governed by the AWS Activate Terms and Conditions. Startups aren’t eligible for AWS Activate Credits if they previously received the same or greater amount of credits.
