0G and AKINDO Launch WaveHack Buildathon for Decentralized AI Innovation

0G, a well-known decentralized L1 network, has entered an official collaboration with AKINDO, a prominent entity to run Buildathons. The partnership aims to promote the development of censorship-resistant and cutting-edge AI apps on the modular blockchain of 0G with the launch of the WaveHack Buildathon. An official press release from 0G asserts that this endeavor will begin on the 14th of August, and AKINDO will host an interactive live workshop on YouTube. Keeping this in view, the builders can anticipate this development to enhance the convergence between blockchain and AI.

0G and AKINDO Collaboration Unveils WaveHack Buildathon for Next-Gen Decentralized AI Apps

As a part of this collaboration, 0G and AKINDO are going to start WaveHack Buildathon on the 14th of August. This event will reportedly provide developers with unique avenues to develop scalable, impactful, and verifiable AI solutions. WaveHack invites AI innovators and developers to build different decentralized AI apps with the use of the modular L1 infrastructure of 0G.

The participants of the buildathon will be able to access the integrated storage, data, and compute facilities of 0G. The respective event will commence with a kickoff session driven by Gathin T, the Developer Relations lead of 0G. The executive will present the technical suite, practical application instances, and a Q&A session to guarantee that the participants are completely equipped for the participation.

As the earliest decentralized L1 blockchain dealing with cutting-edge AI, 0G merges hardware resources, including storage and compute, with robust software assets, such as AI models and datasets. This will enable builders to smoothly tackle AI workloads. During the entire WaveHack event, the participants will get consistent guidance from the team of the 0G ecosystem to advance their projects while also embedding the technology effectively.

Promising Significant Rewards and Skills for Participants

According to 0G, the buildathon will comprise 6 waves, and each of them will last for 2 weeks. The grant pool will expand with each wave, while $13,000 will be the peak of its rewards for the prominent teams in the conclusive round. Apart from that, the teams taking part in all the 6 waves will additionally share an extra $2,000 bonus for their sustained involvement. Overall, the design of the buildathon ensures that every participant will exit with significant skills, resilient industry connections, and likely funded projects having real-world applicability.
