The 2019 Bytom Global Dev Competition final will be held in San Francisco, this August. This dev competition aims at finding more technology talents, strengthening Bytom’s development capability, and enhancing Bytom’s sustainable open-source ecosystem.
A Basket of Rewards
To incentivize brilliant developers across the globe to participate, 2019 Bytom Devcon is offering a prize pool of almost 100,000 USD, as well as support in fundraising, incubation, technical development, and media exposure. Teams entering the final round will compete for one first prize, two, second place prizes and three third prizes. The award for the first prize winning team is as high as $30,000 USD equivalent in BTM tokens.
Last year Bytom’s global dev competition attracted almost 100 Dev teams from the US, South Korea, Europe, and China. 16 teams ended up being selected for the final round and shared a prize pool of 2 million BTM tokens. Bytom-based projects developed by participating teams included a decentralized digital asset swap platform, a river management system, a database for drivers and cars, a block browser and many more.
Bytom public blockchain is an interactive protocol of multiple byte assets. Heterogeneous byte-assets (indigenous digital currency, digital assets) that operate in different forms on the Bytom Blockchain and atomic assets (warrants, securities, dividends, bonds, intelligence information, forecasting information and so forth) can be registered, exchanged, gambled and engaged in other more complicated and contract-based interoperations via Bytom.
