Future of Technology Journey
Redefine the future of technology
The next amazons and googles of our time are perhaps one smart contract away. Thanks to MultiversX’s innovations, the path to killer applications, gradually reshaping the world around us, is open to everyone.

Artificial Intelligence
At the dynamic intersection of blockchain and AI lies the vast potential for transformative solutions and innovations. This track challenges participants to explore the combination of these two technological areas to create applications that can redefine industries, processes, and experiences.
Design, develop, and demonstrate a solution that complementarily utilizes both blockchain and AI, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and paving the way for next-generation of decentralized applications.

DeFi
While MultiversX has recently seen a surge in DeFi protocols, there is a lot more room to grow and many more money legos to be built. The horizon of possibilities within the DeFi landscape is vast and continues to expand with each technological breakthrough. This track is an invitation to innovators and thinkers to create the building blocks of the new internet economy.
Participants are challenged to envision and build innovative DeFi solutions that not only leverage the foundational work established on MultiversX, but also seek to pioneer new pathways and unlock new opportunities for decentralized finance.

Infrastructure and Dev Tooling
Behind every transformative technological innovation sits a robust infrastructure and an array of developer tools that streamline creation, deployment, and scaling. This track is dedicated to those who build for a strong foundation and believe that efficient tooling is essential for the evolution and accessibility of blockchain technology.
Participants are challenged to conceptualize, design, and build infrastructure solutions or developer tools that can accelerate the development of MultiversX blockchain applications, improve their scalability, or enhance their security and usability.

Payments
At the very heart of global commerce and daily transactions lies the intricate and critical domain of payments. As MultiversX seeks to bridge multiple worlds, how can we redefine payments to seamlessly connect them all?
Participants are encouraged to harness the capabilities of MultiversX to craft groundbreaking payment solutions. These solutions should not only serve the needs of today but anticipate the demands of tomorrow, shaping the way money moves around the world.

Mobile Apps
Decentralization and digitization in a pocket, mobile devices aren't just gateways to the digital universe, but can also become gateways to a transparent and trustless field. As 70% of web traffic comes from mobile phones, it becomes of big importance not only to prioritize mobile experiences but also to integrate the potential of blockchain technology. That's why the integration of blockchain in mobile apps can revolutionize how we view digital identity, data security, transparent operations, and so much more.
Via this track, we’re elevating the challenge. While the power of mobile-centric design remains at the core, we're also inviting participants to incorporate blockchain elements seamlessly.
The goal is to conceptualize, design, and develop mobile applications that not only feel native and intuitive but also harness the power and trust of blockchain technology.

Gaming & Metaverse Journey
Turn your vision into immersive experiences
Gaming and Metaverse are one of the areas where blockchain technology can add considerable value today. Bringing new economic paradigms and new avenues for conveniently interacting with digital spaces, assets, and services.
Gaming
Gaming has evolved from simple play, becoming a digital ecosystem teeming with virtual economies and communities. What's next? Blockchain integration. Beyond cryptocurrencies, blockchain offers gamers true digital asset ownership, new incentive models for users, and provably fair mechanics. In this track, we challenge participants to merge gaming with blockchain's decentralized power.
Imagine games where players genuinely own, trade, and transfer assets, where achievements are etched in an unchangeable ledger.
Fair chance to redefine gaming, making it not just about entertainment but empowerment

Metaverse
The metaverse is a vast landscape of digital worlds where people live out compelling experiences spanning across business, education, entertainment and many other verticals. With blockchain, these experiences are imbued with immutability, interoperability and transparency.
In this track, we're challenging participants to blend the wonders of the metaverse with the unique properties of blockchain.
It's all about propelling progress within this technological interplay to bring it closer to consumer apps.
