A total of 25 winners will be selected by the IoTeX community and share $2,000+ USD in prizes! Everyone that participates will also receive an exclusive Idea-Thon NFT.
Anyone can participate in the Idea-Thon – no developer experience required. In this thread, we share an overview of Pebble and step-by-step instructions to join the Idea-Thon.
Pebble: A New Standard for Trust
Pebble is a first-of-its-kind smart device that combines tamper-proof hardware and tamper-proof software to establish a new standard for trust. Pebble captures and cryptographically signs real world data (GPS, climate, motion, light) using a built-in secure element, similar to the chips used in smartphones for FaceID and crypto hardware wallets for private keys. The result? All data generated by Pebble is 100% verifiable and traceable by anyone: trusted data from trusted devices to fuel trusted applications.
A universe of new use cases centered around verifiability/trust will be enabled by Pebble – we can’t wait to hear your world-changing ideas!
Idea-Thon Prizes
- Top 5: $200 in IOTX each
- Top 25: Ucam or $50 in IOTX (your choice)
- All participants: exclusive Idea-Thon NFT
