Cosmos and KryptoSeoul are back to present their first in-person hackathon in Southeast Asia—our very first offline HackAtom organized in over a year! This time, we’re bringing the Cosmos HackAtom to HCMC, Vietnam. For 72 hours straight, the HackAtom will host Vietnam’s best hackers in the Propzy Innovation Hub. Teams will compete to take home a piece of the $10,000 prize pool worth of ATOMs, rewarded to the best teams that build Interchain-compatible applications.

Remember, the party doesn’t end when the hackathon closes. The afterparty rages on with Tendermint Fellowships. Hackers have the unique opportunity to become a Tendermint Fellow by checking all the boxes detailed in this post.

Brian Luk is currently a part of Tendermint’s Ecosystem Development team and actively works on building the community and developing tooling, guides, and products for the Cosmos ecosystem. He enjoys ape-ing 🦍 into and exploring new crypto ideas and projects.

Chjango Unchained is formerly VP of Ecosystem Development at Tendermint and is currently Tendermint’s advisor. She formed the Ecosystem Development team within Tendermint to house the functions related to the four core pillars of EcoDev: partnerships and investments, marketing, community development (validator delegation incentives and ambassador programs), and developer relations. She was an early contributor to Cosmos, joining Tendermint when it was a single digit team. She entered the cryptosphere in 2014, with Bitcoin as her gateway drug that opened her eyes to the potential for blockchain to eat the world. Chjango studied Econometrics and statistical analysis, graduating with a Bachelor of Science at the University of California, San Diego, during which she interned at and eventually became an Early Career Hire at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She is the host of Interchain.FM and is now Director of the dWeb Foundation, having formed that non-profit organization in order to facilitate the development toward a decentralized web. She advises various cryptocurrency projects aimed at solving some of the biggest problems pervasive in centralized technology.

Denis Fadeev is the Director of Developer Experience at Tendermint, working mainly on Starport, an awesome CLI tool that allows developers to launch a Cosmos SDK-based blockchain in minutes.

Jacob Gadikian is a seven year veteran to both cryptocurrency investing and Proof-of-Stake systems. He got his start by investing in the perhaps too Utopian maid safe project and years later remains optimistic! The ideas he was exposed to as a crypto investor in 2014 caused him to pause his teaching career to work toward completely open hardware platforms that could properly service the security needs of blockchain users. After that, Jacob did a series of podcasts with Dan Larimer and Fuzzy of the Beyond Bitcoin show. This led to being exposed to fast PoS blockchains via both bit chairs and steam, and searching for an alternative framework to graphene’s boost flavored C++. In 2017, he ran into Tendermint and Jae Kwon. When it comes to technology, Jacob’s passions are infrastructure and open source. He was a Genesis validator for the Akash Network, and helped to build out a scaled Bitcoin mining operation at https://droneenergy.com, and is a co-inventor of Drone’s patent pending “energy offloading system”, which is a system for high density, high energy computation, such as Bitcoin mining.
