Indonesia Bitcoin Conference 2023 to host a Lightning Network hackathon 

The Indonesia Bitcoin Conference 2023 will host a Lightning Network Hackathon to build applications that support layer-2 payments on the Bitcoin network.

This competition aims to introduce lightning network technology and promote innovation and creativity among developers worldwide, especially in Indonesia.

“We invite developers to join and bring their brilliant ideas to incorporate the lightning network system into various applications,” said Dea Rezkitha, the organizer of the Indonesia Bitcoin Conference.

This Lightning Hackathon is sponsored by the Human Rights Foundation and Fulgur Ventures. It has a total prize pool of $10,000 for participants showcasing their talent in the cryptocurrency world.

Registration for the Lightning Hackathon closes on Oct. 6, 2023, and will be online. However, presentations and demos of the applications will be held on Oct. 25 in Bali as part of the Indonesia Bitcoin Conference.

In addition to the opportunity to win a total prize of $10,000, the winners of the Lightning Hackathon also have the chance to showcase their work in the global “Legend of Lightning” hackathon with a total prize of 3 BTC or equivalent to $78,000

The Lightning Network is a faster and more efficient way to make Bitcoin transactions. It allows payments to arrive in seconds, no matter where you are.

Many apps use lightning payments, like content creator tipping and gaming points. El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender and supports the Lightning Network.
