• 现实主题 #1 - 智能家居的访问控制
• 现实主题 #2 - 下一代电子健康
• 技术挑战 #1 - 跨链通讯
• 技术挑战 #2 - 直接实现原始DPoS协议
In March, IoTeX held their first charity program (https://tinyurl.com/y7s4k66s) to support the Ethereum Foundation, and raised over 340 ETH to help fund blockchain research! IoTeX is now holding their second charity program to support -- you guessed it -- DoraHacks! “For our first charity program, we decided to support Ethereum, the pioneers of blockchain. This time around, we are excited to support the next generation of blockchain and IoT developers and are excited to join DoraHacks on their mission,” said Raullen Chai, co-founder of IoTeX.
Not only will IoTeX support DoraHacks with donations from their community, but they will also provide mentorship and advisory to DoraHacks and their community in several ways. IoTeX will provide real world blockchain and IoT-related problems / topics for hackers to solve during hackathons. In addition, IoTeX will provide IoT hardware, such as sensors and other connected devices, for hackers to incorporate into their projects. Finally, IoTeX’s talented team will serve as speakers and judges for several hackathons in 2018. See below for a preliminary list of real world topics and challenges from IoTeX:
• Topic #1 - Access Control in Smart Homes
• Topic #2 - Next Generation e-Health
• Challenge #1 - Cross-chain communication
• Challenge #2 - Directly implement the original DPoS protocol
为确保IoTeX慈善计划的捐赠可追踪，DoraHacks将完全透明化给予极客团队的奖励，并提供极客的Github链接。 这意味着每个人都可以通过公开钱包追踪DoraHacks资助的每一个项目。
To ensure donations from IoTeX’s charity program are traceable, DoraHacks will provide full transparency on which hackers / teams receive awards from the charity pool, and will provide a link to the Github code of the project. This means that everyone will be able to see what projects were sponsored by DoraHacks' partnership.
此次DoraHacks与IoTeX的合作将是一个长期而成功的战略合作的开端。DoraHacks将携手IoTeX一起实现愿景和使命，将世界各地最优秀的极客们连接起来，使得他们通过交流和协作更好地成长，创造性地解决当今社会和相关行业所面临的问题。
This program will be the start of a long and successful partnership with IoTeX, and DoraHacks is excited to have loTex join on the mission to connect the most talented hackers around the world so that every hacker can grow better through interaction and collaboration, and be able to creatively solve real-world problems our industries and society face today. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements, and please join IoTeX’s social media channels!
