Phala Network Partners with Octaloop for the Unblock Hackathon

Phala Network has announced its partnership with Octaloop for the Unblock 2022 hackathon. Unblock is a Web3-focused hackathon aimed at promoting blockchain technology and encouraging its potential applications in India, creating new opportunities for both Web3 companies and enthusiasts to discover networking and investment opportunities in the space.

As the Metaverse paradigm continues to evolve around us, trustless infrastructure is becoming an ever-growing concern for digital explorers. Phala Network is a Web3 cloud-computing platform with privacy-preserving features, enabling projects to deploy off-chain contracts (Phat Contract) within trusted environment execution (TEE) enclaves. It’s also the first project to bring privacy features to the Polkadot ecosystem.

However, Phala offers more than just privacy. The project’s mission is to become the world’s largest decentralized and serverless compute cloud for Web3 and support complex computation with low latency and low cost by Phat Contract. As a hub for blockchain developers, enthusiasts, and investors in India, Unblock 2022 will help promote the Phala network to a passionate Indian crowd, bringing more brains onto the network to produce utility-driven applications.

At Unblock 2022, participants will get to express their ideas to on-site mentors and other professional developers. This will give them a better understanding about how feasible their concepts are, and what kind of business models can be built around them. It’s the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to make it as a developer in the blockchain industry.

Through the Unblock hackathon, Phala plans to also incentivize developers to find new use-cases, fix bugs, and generate activity on the network. If this sounds interesting, learn more about the Unblock hackathon here.

Besides a full-fledged hackathon, Metamorphosis 2022 comes loaded with prizes, talks from industry leaders and influencers, career and networking opportunities, and some fun and games for crypto nerds.
