About the event
What is Blockchain Bootcamp and Hackathon?
There are two targets of the event: OJT students and the Public. For the students, they will join as a group of two to learn the blockchain and try to come up with an idea to solve a real business problem with the blockchain, NFT, and Web3 technologies. And compete with other groups in the hackathon. For the public, we try to increase awareness regarding those technologies.

85.9%
Blockchain will grow at a rate of 85.9% from 2022 to 2030.

Web3 is being touted as the future of the internet. The vision for this new, blockchain-based web includes cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DAOs, decentralized finance, and more. It offers a read/write/own version of the web, in which users have a financial stake in and more control over the web communities they belong to. (Harvard Business Review)

Fungibility refers to an object’s ability to be exchanged for another. For example, an individual dollar is considered fungible as we can trade dollars with one another. Artwork is usually deemed non-fungible because it’s likely to be unequal in quality or value. A non-fungible token is a type of token that is a unique digital asset and has no equal token. (DigitalOcean).
The priority is given to OJT students from UTAS Muscat. However, you can still apply..
