On July 5th, 2023, Neo announced a partnership with OKX to launch a new Asia-Pacific hackathon. The hackathon will take place from July to October in six cities across Asia, and the organizers will also hold a series of online conferences to support those who may not be able to participate in person, ensuring that all interested parties have the opportunity to participate. The Neo Foundation will provide a total prize pool of $120,000 for this hackathon, with $1 million in funding available after the hackathon.

This year's hackathon participants can explore decentralized finance and payments; NFTs and gaming; AI, social and DAO; infrastructure and tools; and comprehensive categories. The final prize for each category is $10,000, and the list of prize winners will be announced at the Hong Kong finals and awarded in the form of NEO tokens.

In recent years, with the popularity of emerging work styles, the world has gradually recognized the value of Web3. The holding of this hackathon is precisely because of the fusion of the digital world and the physical world. Next, OKX and Neo will work together to maximize the influence and participation in the entire Asia-Pacific region. It is worth noting that the team registration for this hackathon will be conducted from July 5th to September 24th, and project submissions will be completed from July 22nd to September 24th. The organizer will announce the champion team at the October celebration in Hong Kong.

Founder of Neo, Da Hongfei, stated during the launch of the hackathon: "Through this hackathon, we aim to attract and support the best Web3 talents and startups, while showcasing the functionalities that Neo provides for developers. The prize money and funding will provide much-needed startup capital for the winning projects. We hope to provide a platform for outstanding Web3 talents in the Asia-Pacific region to showcase themselves and look forward to seeing their excellent performance."

The collaboration between OKX and Neo will generate a powerful synergistic effect and unleash greater influence. During the collaboration, OKX will empower this hackathon in the form of NFTs. According to official sources, NFT teams holding relevant rights may have the opportunity to engage in direct technical exchanges with the OKX Web3 team and launch a series of collaborations in the future.

OKX Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau said: "We have always been committed to participating in and promoting the construction of industry infrastructure. Our vision is to use technological progress to make the industry develop better. This hackathon with Neo is a practical practice for OKX to encourage Web3 innovation. We look forward to exploring the most potential Web3 innovation in the Asia-Pacific region and enhancing the influence of the developer community in the Asia-Pacific region. In the future, OKX will continue to make efforts in innovation and funding innovation, and work with builders to build the future of Web3."
