World Build Hackathon
Friends with Benefits and World, with support from Alchemy and Blockchain Capital, have teamed up to create World Build: a program to assemble the best creative entrepreneurs in web3 to build breakthrough applications for World App's 22M users.
The program kicks off with a 48 hour online hackathon and the option to attend an in-person launch event in NYC. Hackathon winners will share a $15K prize pool.
The winning team will receive an all expenses paid trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina to build out their idea alongside a host of world class web3 talent as well as the chance to win up to $200K in grant funding and pitch to tier 1 VCs.
