what is zencon?

ZENCON is an annual coding event (hackathon), where entrepreneurs, coders, computer programmers and blockchain industry partners come together in a fun and entertaining environment to strengthen their collaboration, forge new technological innovations and produce creative ideas and solutions.

What do you need to do to join us at ZENCON?

After the application process, the best ideas will be selected to participate in ZENCON, an event where the coders and programmers are provided with challenges that they need to solve within 68 hours across different domains.

We will have different categories of challenges in which you can compete. All it takes is for you to apply with your project, get selected and make your way to ZENCON!

What are the ZENCON challenges?

Category: Next-Gen Web3
NFTs / AI / Web 3.0 / Metaverse

This category challenges the visionaries who can blur the lines between reality and the digital world. We invite you to create a project that combines NFTs, AI, and Web 3.0, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the ZENIQ Smart Chain.

Category: DeFi the Limits
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) & DeFi 2.0

Finance is no longer confined to traditional institutions. This category is for the pioneers ready to redefine finance using the ZENIQ Blockchain. We're looking for projects that will disrupt and innovate in the DeFi and DeFi 2.0 space.

Category: ZENIQ Evolution
New Developments of the ZENIQ Ecosystem and the Existing Projects

The ZENIQ Ecosystem is a fertile ground for innovation. Your challenge is to explore this digital landscape and build upon its existing projects, or create something entirely new. Help shape the future on the ZENIQ Smart Chain.

Category: Next Level Innovation
New Advanced and Developed Projects (Pro Level)

This category is for the seasoned veterans, the experts who eat, sleep, and breathe blockchain. We invite you to develop an advanced project on the ZENIQ Smart Chain, showcasing your skill, creativity, and expertise.

Category: ZENIQ Integration
ZENIQ Smart Chain Migration/ Integration (Pro Level)

The true test of a blockchain professional lies in their ability to integrate and migrate systems seamlessly. In this category, we challenge you to integrate an existing project into the ZENIQ Smart Chain, demonstrating your technical skills in the blockchain world.

What is the 68-hour ZENCON challenge?

Rise and shine (or simply never go to sleep) and welcome to the 68-hour challenge that will see teams from all over the world compete at ZENCON. Here is what you need to do: The challenge starts on the second day of ZENCON and runs over the next three days during which you need to finish a working prototype application, write the smart contract to make it work on the ZENIQ Smart Chain, deploy the application, test it, and finally pitch it to our expert jury. Our mentors and jury members will be present all the time and their feedback could provide invaluable help to make it to the top of your challenge category.

So, while you can theoretically finish your application before ZENCON, the tokens to perform operations on the ZENIQ Smart Chain will only be awarded during ZENCON. So be ready for a lot of last-minute work, little sleep and a lot of energy!
