Mark your calendars! Tbilisi, Georgia is the place to be on September 28-30, 2018. NEO Black Sea is hosting NEO Hackathon+

At Spotcoin, we are committed to supporting blockchain community and expanding the smart economy with solutions to everyday problems. That is why we are sponsoring the NEO Hackathon+ with our partner Georgian American University (GAU) and GeoLab. In order to give back to our home country, the hackathon will work in tandem with Georgian government agencies Georgian National Agency for Public Registry (NAPR) and the Georgia’s Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA) to explore blockchain technology solutions for the Georgian people.

“In order to make blockchain and digital currency work for everyone in the smart economy of the future, it is important to develop solutions that include participation of key stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.” Sean Mulcahey, Chief Strategy Officer said. Sean is spearheading the hackathon and he is excited by the opportunity to involve the government. He continued “This is why Spotcoin and GAU are teaming up with the Georgian National Agency for Public Registry to focus the event on solving a real challenge with blockchain applications. Our intention is to develop a public-private partnership to deliver value even beyond the hackathon event.”

The Topic

The Georgian National Agency for Public Registry are seeking potential blockchain technology solutions to streamline government with a focus on real estate transactions. NAPR want to use smart contracts to reduce the risk associated with registration and transfer of real property. The potential streamlined solutions need to address financial concerns, reduces wrongful manipulation/fraud, and increases trust in the process via “TRUSTcontracts.” When parties opt to use “TRUSTcontracts,” two actions will be performed as one: property registration and money transfer.

NEO Hackathon+ will explore solutions to provide NAPR with process automation that uses blockchain hashing and timestamping to build and execute their “TRUSTcontracts”.

The Event

The event is more than just a hackathon, it is a holistic experience. The three-part approach supports blockchain developers, information technology academics and the software development communities.

1. EDUCATION: Leading up to the NEO Hackathon+, Spotcoin and GEOLAB will host educational opportunities. NEO blockchain developers will lecture on blockchain fundamentals and conduct technical demonstrations on NEO smart contracts, and GITA/NAPR representatives will present specific information on the project goal. The education series is a great opportunity for every developer interested in blockchain technology to learn from the experts in the field.

2. EXECUTION: The big event. A hackathon in Tbilisi.

3. IMPLEMENTATION: A panel of judges will select the winning application and a public-private partnership will incubate and implement the winning application.
