Hack4Privacy by iExec × 50Partners
iExec and 50Partners are joining forces to launch Hack4Privacy, a hackathon dedicated to building the next generation of Confidential DeFi & RWA applications using iExec’s privacy technology.
Over two dynamic weeks, participants will explore new ideas, experiment with confidential computing, and design impactful privacy-preserving DeFi & RWA applications. Mentors from both iExec and 50Partners will support teams throughout the journey, helping them turn bold concepts into real, scalable products.
We encourage all builders to think beyond traditional DeFi/RWA, unlock new utility through privacy, and create solutions that are both innovative and meaningful.
This event is open to all, whether you are a student, professional, or blockchain enthusiast.
