We’re excited to share the winners of our first ever design contest as part of Chainlink’s Web3 Oracle HackerNode. We received more than 150 entries which were judged by the Chainlink Community Ambassadors and team.

We are excited to announce the events of the Oracle HackerNode — a series of Chainlink hosted events happening as part of the greater Web3 Summit held from August 19-21, 2019 in Berlin, Germany.Chainlink’s Oracle HackerNode aims to bring together developers and enthusiasts

At the May ETHNewYork Hackathon last week, we supported numerous teams who integrated Chainlink oracles into their smart contracts. We awarded $5,000 in prizes to the two top teams with the best working applications of Chainlink on the Ethereum blockchain.

Join us for an evening panel discussion during Consensus 2019 with Chainlink partners OpenLaw, and Wanchain. This panel includes Sergey Nazarov, CEO of Chainlink, along with Aaron Wright Co-founder of OpenLaw, and Johann Eid, Lead Strategist of Wanchain.

Chainlink participated in the ETHParis Hackathon and awarded prizes to the teams with the best working applications of Chainlink on the Ethereum blockchain. Initially, there were plans to award only one $1,000 prize. However, given the amazing submissions, the judges decided to award another prize for the second place team.

Join us for an evening Meetup featuring an interactive panel discussion during EDCON 2019 with three of the most active projects developing on the Ethereum blockchain. The panel includes Dan Kochis, Global Head of BD for Chainlink, along with Wei Tang, a developer for Parity Technologies and Dennison Bertram, Developer Advocate for Zeppelin Solutions.

We would like to invite you to join us in Austin, Texas “The Live Music Capital of the World” for our first ever Chainlink and Wanchain meetup. We will be demonstrating a chainlinked smart contract that uses Wanchain’s cross-chain capability. This combines the idea of Chainlink’s cross-chain data and inputs with Wanchain’s cross-chain transactions.

On January 23, 2019, Chainlink hosted a standing room only fireside chat about the future of smart contracts in San Francisco, CA between Tom Gonser, Founder of DocuSign and Sergey Nazarov, CEO of Chainlink.Tom is famous for founding DocuSign in 2003 to replace physical signatures with easy to use e-signatures that were both legally enforceable and cryptographically secure.

The Chainlink team was excited to attend the February 2019 ETHDenver Hackathon. In addition to awarding prizes to the top projects using Chainlink on the Ethereum blockchain, Sergey Nazarov participated in a panel discussion about  “Oracles and Data for Dapps” and Integration Engineer Thomas Hodges gave a developer workshop on how to “Build Smart Contracts that Connect to Real World Data, Events & APIs.”

We would like to invite both the Chainlink and Celer communities to our Denver meetup, which is taking place the evening before ETHDenver. This will be a great opportunity to learn about solutions covering blockchain security, scalability, and the use of external data to execute on-chain events, as well as to meet the teams behind both projects.
