**UPDATE** IDT Unchained Hackathon is partnering up with Stellar.org to help participants integrate the Stellar decentralized network into their projects! Using Stellar.org's SDKs participants will be able to move money in a fast, reliable, and cheap way. Check out their website to see how the Stellar network could enhance your project at our hackathon!**
**UPDATE** We are now also partnering with Blockstack! Check out their cool tech at Blockstack.org.**
 
IDT is hosting its first Blockchain hackathon!! Over the span of 3 days you will work the chain to build solutions for international money transfer, calling, and/or retail transactions. The kickoff will be recorded and streamed live online. The building is closed on Friday/Saturday morning for Shabbat. In order to allow our participants more time to work on their projects, hacking will begin remotely on Friday. Doors will open at 8:30pm on Saturday at IDT. In order to be eligible for judging, participants must check-in by 10:30am on Sunday.
