Over P580,000 (approximately $10,000) in prizes are at stake in the Byaheng Pilipinas Bootcamp and Hackathon Series.

Hosted by Polkadot, a global leader in blockchain interoperability and decentralized technology innovation, the program offers a combined six-week bootcamp and four-week hackathon, providing participants with hands-on training in blockchain development and smart contract creation using Polkadot’s Substrate development kit.

Applications are open to everyone, from rookie developers eager to explore blockchain to seasoned tech experts looking to expand their skill set. Registration is free and can be accessed here. To ensure inclusivity, the program provides both on-site and virtual participation options.

In partnership with OpenGuild and Web3 Bulacan, participants will have the chance to design and prototype solutions addressing critical local challenges, such as decentralized identity (DID), financial inclusion, and remittances.

The program will culminate in a high-stakes Grand Demo Day in Manila, where top teams will showcase their projects. Teams from across the country will be sponsored to travel to Manila for the finale.

Byaheng Pilipinas is part of OpenGuild’s broader vision to establish a Polkadot hub, or “Plaza,” by 2025. This hub aims to serve as a catalyst for blockchain adoption in Southeast Asia, bringing impactful Web3 projects to life and ensuring the region remains at the forefront of decentralized innovation.
