The hackathon will take place across three roughly month-long rounds, where they are judged against milestones they have set for their projects at the beginning of the prior round. Judges will include Lisa Neigut, founder of Base58 and the Bitcoin++ Conference, as well as Kelly Brewster, CEO of Wolf, a Bitcoin startup accelerator based in New York.
