After switching to hybrid events throughout the pandemic, Junction is taking the event back to its roots with Junction 2022, fully live, gathering people from all over the world in Finland.


How Tracks Work

The hackathon is divided into tracks based on different industries and themes. All tracks include multiple challenges that you can choose to work on during the hackathon. A project can be presented to multiple challenges on different tracks, but can only compete for the victory of one track.

Among these 20+ challenges, one of these will be given to the participants by the Gravity Team.

The winners of the challenge will be chosen by each of the partner companies. The winners of the tracks and the winner of the Main Prize will be chosen by the participants through peer review.

Gravity Team Challenge: Crypto Trading Helper

We challenge the hackathon participants to build a crypto trading helper. Do your best to build a creative crypto trading helper to support us where others fail! Winning prize? An epic challenge, feedback and 2 ETH!
