#Harmony and #Polygon, with Flaia are launching a #Hackathon aimed to introduce Blockchain Technology and build real solutions on the network.

Teams of developers, idea-generators and technical experts will design and build digital products, tools and apps that can be used to improve gender equality in Africa, Kenya.

We hope the event will inspire young leaders to explore gender-based solutions using blockchain technology and to have first-hand experience in its true potential. Having recognized the value, solution building can expand into areas of financial inclusion, identity, health care, education, traceability, and more.
