TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Maxonrow announces its first-ever MAXathon, an online hackathon from September

5 to October 3, 2020, where blockchain experts, developers, and other tech

enthusiasts will reimagine blockchain for healthcare applications in response

to the global challenges propagated by pandemics.

Challenge Categories

MAXathon's challenges are based on Maxonrow SDK, which the company used to

build MedsLOCK, a control and communication ecosystem that provides real-time

insights during pandemics created in tandem with Avantas Tech Accelerator.

"Privacy is a key issue during the current and future pandemics, and as such,

blockchain platforms ensure that information is shared without compromising

privacy. With MedsLOCK, we make sure we add trust to the data flow," said

Muhammad Salman Anjum, Avantas' Managing Director.

Prizes

MAXathon participants will have a chance to win from a €15,000 prize pool by

building solutions for five challenges. The challenges include solutions for

contact tracing, issuing health and vaccine certifications, welfare, social

networking, and data analytics.

Registrations are open now on hackathon.maxonrow.com. Participants must

register and submit their project on the challenge platform before September

30, 2020. From now till September 30, there will be a series of online events

including webinars and tutorials to enrich participants' experience. After all

submissions have been reviewed, 20 teams will be selected to attend the Demo

Day on October 3, 2020, where they will pitch their solutions to the final

jury. The winning team of each track will win €3,000 for a total of €15,000 in
