Subject: DIF Hackathon now live!

Dear CCG community,

I'd like invite you to participate in the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) Hackathon 2024, taking place throughout October. This event is great opportunity to work on innovative applications of decentralized identity. This year's tracks include:

  *   Reusable Identity
  *   Travel & Hospitality
  *   ZKP + SSI
  *   Future of Education & Workforce

I'd like to call your attention to the last track, which builds on the work of the VC-EDU task force within the CCG community, specifically the JFF Plugfest led by Sharon Leu and Kerri Lemoie.


Key details:

  *   Dates: October 1 - November 4, 2024
  *   Prize pool: $69,000 USD
  *   Register: https://difhackathon2024.devpost.com/
  *   Challenge details: https://identity.foundation/hackathon-2024/

This is an excellent chance to apply this community's work in a hackathon setting, develop technology and tools that are increasingly important in our daily lives, and potentially win prizes.


Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see many of you participating!

Warm regards,
Kim
