XRPL Hackathon @ Paris Blockchain Week 2024
Join us at the XRPL Commons Hackathon during the Paris Blockchain Week 2024 to tackle the Crisis of Trust through innovative XRPL solutions. Build solutions to tokenize Real World Assets on the XRPL for institutions and individuals.
Join us for the XRPL Commons Hackathon during the Paris Blockchain Week 2024, where developers, blockchain enthusiasts, and XRPL aficionados will convene for 72 hours of intense coding, collaboration, and innovation. Dive into the XRPL ecosystem to explore new ideas and build innovative projects, with a chance to win €4500, entry into our next Aquarium Residency cohort, pitch on the main stage of PBW, win tickets to attend PBW, and network with industry experts.
Participants in the “Positive Impact, AI & Blockchain” Hackathon 2024 are encouraged to channel their innovative prowess into the following thematic areas:
Reinventing insurance
Challenge: Traditional insurance models are often inefficient, plagued by lack of transparency, delayed claims processes, and high operational costs. This leads to a trust deficit between insurers and policyholders.
Identity management
Challenge: In the digital age, identity theft and data breaches are rampant, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations. Traditional identity management systems are centralized, making them vulnerable to attacks and privacy breaches.
ESG Data Collection
Challenge: Accurate and transparent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data collection is challenging. Companies often struggle with data integrity, verification, and reporting, leading to skepticism about the authenticity of their ESG claims.
Real-Estate Transactions
Challenge: Traditional financial systems are often restricted by geographical boundaries, have high entry barriers, and are subject to centralized control and regulation. This limits accessibility and innovation in financial services, especially for unbanked and underbanked populations.
