HackerNoon, the community-driven tech publishing platform, today announced the launch of the Spacecoin Writing Contest in partnership with Spacecoin, the world's first decentralized physical infrastructure network powered by satellites.
The Spacecoin Writing Contest invites writers, space geeks, and champions of decentralization to plug into Spacecoin's mission—to bring affordable, borderless connectivity to billions with the help of decentralization technology—for a chance to win up to 15,000 USDT in cash prizes.
Spacecoin's mission addresses the centralized control governments and select multinationals have over internet infrastructure. By harnessing Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and blockchain technology, Spacecoin is focused on delivering decentralized, high-speed internet access to underserved regions, reducing risks such as single points of failure and even censorship.
Contest Details
The Spacecoin Writing Contest is open to anyone over the age of 18 with no location restrictions and spread across 3 rounds as follows:
Round 1: Jan 7, 2025 - Apr 7, 2025
Round 2: Apr 8, 2025 - Jul 7, 2025
Round 3: Jul 8, 2025 - Oct 7, 2025
The contest will award 3,000 USDT at the end of each round as follows:
Decentralized Internet - 1,000 USDT for best story
Spacetech - 1,000 USDT for best story | 500 USDT for runner up
Blockchain Use Case - 500 USDT for best story
A further 6,000 USDT will be awarded at the end of the contest as follows:
Spacecoin - 2,000 USDT for best story
Creditcoin - 2,000 USDT for best story
Gluwa - 2,000 USDT for best story
How will the winners be selected?
At the end of each round, HackerNoon will review submitted entries and shortlist the stories that receive the most views (real humans, not bots!).
Next, the shortlisted stories will be voted on by HackerNoon and Spacecoin staff.
The top #decentralized-internet, #spacetech, and #realworld-blockchain-usecase stories will be selected and announced.
After the contest's final round ends, HackerNoon will announce the winners of the sponsor prizes (6,000 USDT) along with the 3 other categories.
