What the first ever student-only Polygon hackathon in London's all about

EasyA x Polygon is a 36-hour event from EasyA and Polygon with 24/7, in-person guidance from the top engineers at Polygon and Lens Protocol.

Co-hosted by the KCL Blockchain Society, other universities in attendance include: Imperial, UCL, Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol, Durham, QMUL and LSE. All other universities welcome too!

And even better? It’s STUDENTS-ONLY, so there will be zero professional hackers. Just you vs other students. Plus, you know employers will be fighting over you when you win.

Not a programmer? This hackathon is open to all students regardless of technical experience (whether it’s ideation, marketing or presenting). We even have a special prize dedicated for non-coders!
