1. Unlocking Developer Creativity To Drive Impact Through Transparency

As the first blockchain-based hackathon platform, techFiesta emerges as a revolutionary force that has transformed the conventional hackathon landscape with HUMAN Protocol, a blockchain technology that redefines how hackathons are conducted.

Traditionally, hackathons have been characterized by their manual and often time-consuming processes. However, techFiesta presents a game-changing solution by leveraging the HUMAN Protocol, streamlining and automating the entire journey using blockchain technology. This ensures fairness, transparency, and efficiency for all participants, from the creative developers to the companies seeking their inventive solutions.

These companies create "Jobs," which are essentially hackathon tasks or projects, and assign them to skilled developers referred to as Workers. This mechanism, driven by technology, brings together diverse minds and talents from around the world to collectively address real-world problems.

The impact of this transformation is profound. By eradicating the challenges of manual payment processes and introducing a secure, automated framework, techFiesta empowers developers to focus on what they do best—creating innovative solutions.

2. Rewarding Developers with Bounties Through Faster Reward System

One of the most interesting experiences for developers at techFiesta is the access to smart bounties. This innovation addresses the traditional challenge of ensuring timely and appropriate compensation for developers' efforts.

Gone are the days of uncertainty; with techFiesta, developers can trust in an automated payment system that not only guarantees prompt payments but also does so on a secure and audited smart contract developed by the HUMAN Protocol.

In addition to stablecoin rewards, we give developers on-chain certificates (NFTs) which help them build their professional reputation. These certificates serve as verifiable proof of their accomplishments, enhancing their credibility and opening doors to future opportunities.

Moreover, techFiesta broadens the horizons for developers. The platform exposes them to an array of projects, grants, and collaborations that extend beyond the confines of traditional hackathons. This opens doors to endless opportunities for skill enhancement, reputation building, and professional growth within the tech industry. Developers now have the chance to showcase their abilities on a global stage, catalyzing their journey toward becoming industry leaders and innovators.

The HUMAN Protocol's evaluation process adds a layer of quality control to the hackathon process. As developers complete their tasks, companies evaluate the work, ensuring that the solutions meet the highest standards of accuracy and innovation. This not only enhances the overall quality of the solutions presented but also provides developers with invaluable feedback for improvement.

3. Offering Developers a Wide Variety Of Hackathons To Choose From

techFiesta is not just hosting hackathons; it's curating a vibrant ecosystem of opportunities that empower developers to unleash their potential. Through strategic collaborations with prominent brands such as;

  • HUMAN Protocol

  • The Hub

  • Bunzz

  • Celo

  • Concordium

One was with HUMAN Protocol which was worth 2000 USD and the other was with Celo and Bunzz and it was worth 5000 USD.
