POA Network Hackers Guide for ETHDenver

POA is proud to announce that we will be sponsoring ETHDenver for a second consecutive year! Last year we witnessed the developer community rally together and focus on building several amazing dApps on our infrastructure. We saw many inspiring projects and submissions and had the opportunity to showcase the prototype version of our POA20 Bridge.

Since then, we have released a full suite of open source developer tools to advance the Ethereum ecosystem. We’re excited to see how hackers and #BUILDers leverage these tools to create something new!

We’ve seen first hand the power of hackathons to generate new and exciting ideas. Most recently, we participated in the Status #CryptoLife Hackathon in Prague, Czech Republic where developers created applications on our xDai chain including a payment platform and a virtual jukebox 1.

Who will be there from the POA team?

At EthDenver, POA will be represented by various team members including:

Alongside the official POA team, you will find POA validators Henry Vishnevsky and Alexey Emelyanov and two of POA’s official ambassadors Sky Minert and Manuel Garcia. You will find them at the POA booth where they will be rocking and giving away official POA swag!

Our team members, validators and ambassadors will be ready and available to help you develop and deploy your DApp to one of our networks. If you are looking for help now, or just want to familiarize yourself with our tools, we welcome any questions in our forum or in our Discord.

A main success criteria of any submission we receive will be a successful deployment to either the xDai Chain or POA Network. But not to worry! Deploying to either of these networks is as easy as can be.
