Road to Sub0 - Builder Party - Addis Ababa
We are thrilled to announce that ALX Ethiopia, in partnership with Polkadot Ethiopia, is hosting the Builders Party – Kickoff Meetup in Addis Ababa! 🎉
This gathering marks the beginning of Ethiopia’s journey into the Polkadot Builder Party Global Hackathon — a six-week innovation sprint where builders around the world will compete for $40,000 in prizes. At the kickoff, you’ll dive into next-generation blockchain technologies, connect with fellow innovators, take part in fun quiz challenges with rewards, and set yourself up for global hackathon participation. You’ll also get the chance to form teams, sign up for mentor support, and walk away with the full calendar of workshops and submission events leading up to November 17.
Road to Sub0 is a 3-month global campaign designed to celebrate Polkadot, introduce developers to the Polkadot ecosystem, and empower builders to contribute to the future of Web3.
