Its all about SCALE
Building on-chain has created many opportunities to reimagine how value is created and transferred, but scaling comes with limitations.
Today @stc_bhr announced the launch of Intersect, a new Avalanche L1 that creates a pivotal entry point for new users and organizations in the Middle East to start building in Web3.
stc Bahrain's launch of @0xintersect is a big milestone for the intersection of telecommunications and blockchain, providing unprecedented opportunities for innovation and development within Bahrain and beyond.
To celebrate the launch, stc Bahrain and Avalanche are kicking off the first Makeathon + Hackathon, a 30-day global competition to build on Intersect.
The virtual event kicks off Aug 12, and is for both coding and non-coders alike 🤝
No-code tracks will invite artists to design unique artwork on-chain, while coding tracks challenge developers to build solutions in Gaming, Music, Media, Interoperability, and Security.
Registration for the Makeathon + Hackathon is now open 📝 intersect.to
