On November 28 and 29, 2023, blockchain enthusiasts will be competing in the Infrachain Tezos Challenge Powered by Telindus, a unique two-day blockchain hackathon centered around “Revolutionizing Compliance with the Tezos Blockchain!”

The hackathon will take place at the Telindus premises in Luxembourg where teams will have to develop novel solutions based on the Tezos Blockchain to facilitate compliance in Luxembourg’s financial sector.

Each participating team will then present a working demo of their project to a jury composed of blockchain and subject matter experts. The jury will evaluate the projects based on their technical prowess, and real-world applicability.
