Accommodation requests will be managed by ETH Oxford. On February 8, a public event featuring a breakfast and coffee will be held to provide networking opportunities for participants.
Prizes and Innovation Opportunities
ETH Oxford is a place where innovation will be embraced without limitations. The focus of the hackathon will be on Decentralized Science and AI. However, developers can explore other areas. The hackathon has a prize pool of $156,000, with the winning team receiving a $2,500 prize, a $100,000 start-up package and an interview to be part of BNB Chain's Most Valuable Builder Program.

BNB Chain, in conjunction with the hackathon will host a workshop that will focus on the differences between Ethereum Smart Chain and BNB Smart Chain. This session, which is scheduled to take place on February 8 between 12:15 and 1:15 pm, will also introduce the BNB Smart Chain ecosystem.
Submission of Projects and Criteria for Scoring
For projects to qualify for rewards they must be open-source, new, and deployed on the opBNB/BSC testnet or mainnet. Participants are also required to ensure that at least two transactions were completed within the timeframe of the hackathon and submit artifacts like GitHub repositories or demo videos. The projects will be scored on factors such as contract verification, open source code, roadmaps, documentation, engagement with the community, and innovative designs.
The ETH Oxford Hackathon is a great opportunity for developers, both new and experienced, to show off their skills, interact with the community of blockchain enthusiasts, and explore possible collaborations.
