We are excited to announce the commencement of the DLT Climate Hackathon, a pioneering initiative brought to you by the DLT Science Foundation in partnership with The HBAR Foundation Sustainable Impact Fund. This is not just a competition but a significant step forward in our collective mission to drive forward climate accountability.

The Big Picture:

The DLT Climate Hackathon is a crucial part of our ongoing efforts to utilise technology in addressing global environmental challenges. By harnessing the capabilities of the Hedera Guardian, the hackathon aims to foster innovative solutions for climate accountability. This event aligns perfectly with DSF's commitment to advancing education, research, and innovation in distributed ledger technologies (DLT), particularly in their application to urgent societal issues like climate change.

Overview of the Hackathon:

Participants in the hackathon are tasked with developing methodologies that utilise the Hedera Guardian to improve transparency and effectiveness in climate change mitigation efforts. The projects and solutions generated from this hackathon have the potential to make a tangible impact, offering new ways to track, report, and verify climate data and initiatives.

Links to Detailed Resources:

For those interested in delving deeper into the hackathon's resources and guidelines, we encourage you to visit the DLT Earth website. There, you will find a wealth of information, including detailed tutorials, webinars, and guides on how to maximise your participation in the hackathon.

Community and Collaboration:

A key aspect of this hackathon is the emphasis on community engagement and collaborative problem-solving. Participants will have access to a dedicated Discord channel for ongoing support, enabling them to share progress, exchange ideas, and seek advice. This collaborative environment is crucial for fostering the innovation and teamwork necessary to address the complex challenges of climate change.

Final Thoughts:

The DLT Climate Hackathon represents a unique opportunity for DSF to lead the way in applying DLT to real-world problems. By participating in this event, individuals and teams from around the globe contribute not only to the development of new technologies but also to a larger movement towards a more sustainable and transparent world.
