The EOS London Hackathon<\/a> has drawn to a close, and the winners of the contest have been announced. The two-day event ran from September 22 to 23 and was hosted by London\u2019s Science Museum.<\/p>\n

Participants were asked to use the EOSIO blockchain<\/a> to create an app that improves privacy and security:<\/p>\n

<\/a>Winners Announced<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Several unique entries were submitted to the Hackathon, and Ben Sigman\u2019s blog has provided a detailed overview<\/a> of the winning entries. First prize ($100k) was awarded to EOS Shield, a whitelisting tool that only permits specific EOS transactions:<\/p>\n

\u201cEOS Shield allows both accounts and contracts on EOS to choose who they interact with by building a whitelist. This project has the potential to disrupt identity verification online using the EOS Blockchain.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Second prize ($25k) was awarded to Chestnut, another tool that provides a whitelisting service. This app also won the award for \u201cBest User Experience\u201d.<\/p>\n

Third prize ($10k) was given to OnTheBlock, a tool for storing identities and passport information on the EOS blockchain. This is already a core feature of some blockchains, such as Ontology<\/a> and Civic, but it is not a built-in feature of EOS.<\/p>\n

Some entries and participants were not ranked, but were awarded with titles. Geneos, a marketplace for genetic data, was declared to be the entry with the \u201cGreatest Social Impact.\u201d Additionally, the Cybercode Twins<\/a> were awarded the title of \u201cBest Social Media\u201d:<\/p>\n

<\/a>Upcoming Competitions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The EOS Hackathon is a series of competitions run by Block.one, the software publisher behind the EOS blockchain.<\/p>\n

These contests have been running since EOS was launched in June<\/a>, and Ben Sigman reports that this was the \u201clargest EOS Hackathon yet.\u201d 470 contestants from 44 countries produced a total of 90 entries.<\/p>\n

Previous Hackathons took place earlier this year in Hong Kong and Sydney. The next event will take place in San Francisco in November, followed by a grand finale in December.<\/p>\n

<\/a>A Good Look For EOS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

EOS has quickly become a popular platform for blockchain-based app development, and it is by far the most popular alternative to Ethereum<\/a>. EOS is currently sitting comfortably<\/a> at #5 by market cap.<\/p>\n

However, EOS is facing various issues: costs to developers<\/a> seem to be on the rise, some block producers are performing poorly<\/a>, and the platform\u2019s governance model remains controversial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This event is a more positive story. Along with new hires<\/a> and generous bug bounties<\/a>, community-focused events such as the Hackathon will surely benefit the platform\u2019s public image.<\/p>\n
