Neo has opened registration for the Tokyo $GAS Station, the first in a series of offline events as part of the ongoing APAC Hackathon. The Tokyo $GAS Station, a two-day hackathon weekend, will take place from July 22 to July 23 at CryptoBase, located at NIB SHIBUYA in Tokyo, Shibuya City. This event offers a platform for Web3 enthusiasts to participate in panel discussions, Web3 workshops, and compete for prizes.
$GAS Station
Participants who attend $GAS Stations as part of the Neo APAC Hackathon will be competing to win one of two US $5,000 prizes along with an invitation to attend the Hong Kong Finale, complete with a $1,000 travel grant. Those who make it through to Hong Kong will compete for one of five $10,000 prizes, and the opportunity to share in a $1 million post-hackathon grant fund.
The two-day $GAS Station event consists of:
- Day 1 (July 22nd): An introductory workshop on development on Neo, a panel discussion, and a hackathon that includes team work, mentoring sessions, and late-night lightning talks.
- Day 2 (July 23rd): A second workshop on scaling blockchains with rollups and zero-knowledge proofs, a developers’ focused work session during the hackathon, and a project demo session with Q&A, review, winner announcements, and celebrations.
Registration is mandatory for those who wish to attend the event, and all participants must be 18 years of age or older. Anyone unable to attend a $GAS Station in person can still participate in the overall APAC Hackathon event by registering and submitting projects online.
Afterparty
Following the Tokyo $GAS Station, an afterparty is planned for July 23, from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. This event, cohosted by KaratDAO and Neo, will take place at 107-0061 5F AO Building 3-11-7 Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
The afterparty, titled “Karat & NEO’s APAC Afterparty: Discussing The Future of SocialFi in Web 3”, will bring together industry leaders, developers, and Web3 enthusiasts for discussions on SocialFi. It also includes a check-in and photoshoot, introductions from each sponsor, and a social cocktail party where all food and drinks are provided by Karat and Neo.
