London, 10 October - TON Society, in partnership with Flight3, is bringing the only TON Bootcamp of its kind to London. This two-day Hackers League Bootcamp is dedicated to the London tech community and offers access and participation to the TON and Telegram ecosystem. It will take place on 10 and 11 October at Woolwich Works.
The London bootcamp is a great opportunity for aspiring builders to gain hands-on experience and connect with the top heavyweights of the TON ecosystem, including VCs and projects. Participants will be able to network and work directly with speakers through interactive sessions, talks and panels.
Aspiring founders and developers are encouraged to join or build a team, develop an idea from scratch and benefit from expert mentorship before pitching their projects at the evening showcase.
Three bootcamp winners will each receive a $5,000 prize and advance to the Hackers League Hackathon Finals, where the total prize pool is $2,000,000, plus potential investment for top projects from TON Ventures that could reach $500,000.
The Open Network (TON) has seen tremendous growth in recent years, especially among tech-savvy enthusiasts eager to build on its innovative network. The blockchain has gained significant traction globally, with the majority of users based in Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, and the US. Building on this growing influence, TON Society is looking to expand the TON ecosystem within the UK, starting with the London Bootcamp.
“The TON Hackathon and Bootcamp in London gives developers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with top builders in the ecosystem. With mentorship and talks from leading Web3 companies across all sectors, this is the developer event to attend in 2024,” said Martin Masser CBDO of STON.fi.
The conference is made possible by the support of generous sponsors and partners. One of those partners is Flight3, one of Europe’s leading Web3 marketing agencies that has played a major role in shaping the Web3 landscape in the UK. The title sponsor of the hackathon is GSR, one of the largest market makers in crypto.
Local sponsors include MoonPay, STON.fi, The Open Platform, TonKeeper, Paper Ventures, Cumberland Labs, AWS, Animoca Brands, Karatage, Galaxy and DVERSE.
TON London Bootcamp is part of a Web3 event series taking place in London, including the flagship event Zebu Live It, which is expected to bring over 3,000 participants and top global leaders into space.
Registration for the first London Bootcamp is now open.
