NIFTY CONFERENCE + HACKATHONCONFERENCE + HACKATHON


Happy to announce our Media partnership with #Nifty CONFERENCE + HACKATHON

JULY 24-26, 2018

Hong Kong

Heard of CryptoKitties, Etheremon, Etherbots, Codex and Decentraland?

Join the world’s first dedicated conference and hackathon on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Blockchain Gaming + Collectibles.

Hosted by Kenetic and Decentraland, NIFTY is a conference and hackathon bringing together

developers, investors, entrepreneurs, and game studios to discuss the bleeding edge of non-

fungible tokens (NFTs), collectibles, and blockchain gaming.

Supporting growth of the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is our priority, and we would like to

encourage participation from those who have had early successes, as well as those who are

learning about or just entering this space.

Please register for your free pass to NIFTY at: https://nifty.gg/

NIFTY will take place in Hong Kong from 24-26 July 2018 in Cyberport, and will feature speakers

including:

• Phil Chen, Decentralized Chief Officer and Exodus phone lead at HTC

• Tom Bollich, CTO, of MadHive and Co-founder of Zynga’s Studio

• Yat Siu, Founder of Animoca

• Pete Kim, Head of Engineering, Toshi at Coinbase

• Jacob Evans, Core Developer at 0x Project

Blockchain technology allows for the extensibility of non-fungible tokens so anyone can build

experiences on top of existing platforms. We’ll discuss what this means and how we can build on top of it.

Some topics include:

• The opportunity for NFTs;

• Crypto games: past, present and future;

• The platform problem: web, mobile, and more;

• NFT economies;

• ERC721 metadata workshop;

• IP on the Blockchain;

• Building secure dapps;

• Funding your NFT project;

• and much more.

HACKATHON

Parallel to the conference, NIFTY will host the first Blockchain Games & NFTs Hackathon! In the spirit of conferences like the Global Game Jam and ETHGlobal, NIFTY’s goal is to gather the best developers in the space and to build a community of collaboration between the different projects.

The hackathon will bring together international developers to Cyberport, which provides a

comfortable space with food and beverages available for all hackers. Workshops focused on

building blockchain-based games will be held throughout the event and the attendees will have full access to the conference sessions.

There will be more than USD$15,000 in prizes. As sponsors are updated, prizes will continually be updated. More details on the hackathon is available at: https://niftyhacks.devpost.com/

Hong Kong is ideally located to bring together participants from some of the most prolific gaming markets in Asia, including Korea, Japan, Singapore, and China.
