Movement Labs Announces “The Battle of Olympus” Hackathon to Accelerate Ecosystem Growth
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Movement Labs, a San Francisco-based blockchain development team, today announced the launch of “Battle of Olympus,” an innovative hackathon designed to drive the growth and adoption of Movement, the first modular network of Move-based blockchains. The hackathon, which marks the first phase of Movement Labs’ Testnet, provides developers with early access and will run from July 17 to September 17, 2024. It is supported by 280 Capital and other partners who will serve as a judge, provide mentorship, and advise teams.
The Battle of Olympus is a key component of Movement Labs’ broader Road to Parthenon initiative, a community program aimed at fostering the development of a robust and thriving ecosystem on Movement Labs’ eventual mainnet. The hackathon brings together talented developers and enthusiasts to innovate and build groundbreaking applications on the Movement Labs devnet and testnet.
The hackathon features a gamified structure, with participants earning points and rewards as they progress. Developers in the “Masons” guild, one of five unique guilds introduced for the Battle of Olympus, can create innovative dApps across various categories, including DeFi, gaming, social tools, infrastructure, and NFTs.
To participate in the Masons guild, developers can form teams of up to 4 members and register on the official hackathon website. Teams from across the world can participate virtually or in-person in San Francisco. Throughout the event, Movement Labs will provide support, mentorship, and resources to help participants succeed.
Standout projects will be recognized with attractive rewards, and winners will be selected by a panel of esteemed judges based on concept, execution, use of Movement-native features, innovation, technical excellence, user experience, and potential impact.
In addition to the Masons guild for developers, non-engineer enthusiasts can also participate and support the Battle of Olympus through four other guilds:
- Pathfinders: Design onboarding guides, engage the community, and organize events
- Creators: Create Movement-related content, memes, and contribute to worldbuilding
- Explorers: Engage with partners, write articles, and analyze ecosystem data
- Scholars: Write content, design quizzes, and collaborate on reports about the hackathon and Movement ecosystem
“The Battle of Olympus offers unique opportunities for our entire community to get involved based on their skills and interests,” said Cooper Scanlon, Co-Founder of Movement Labs. “Whether you’re a developer or an enthusiast, we’re providing the tools and support needed to innovate and shape the decentralized landscape.”
The Battle of Olympus winners will be announced in mid-September. For more information and to register, visit http://olympus.movementlabs.xyz

Crypto Derivatives Market Rebounds Amid Positive Sentiment, Bybit x Block Scholes Report Finds
DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in collaboration with Block Scholes, a renowned quantitative finance firm, has released its latest crypto derivatives analytics report. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the crypto market’s response to the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut and highlights key trends in futures, options, and perpetual contracts.
Following the 50 basis point rate cut on September 18, 2024, both spot and derivatives markets have exhibited positive sentiment. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have seen price increases, while open interest in futures and perpetual swaps remains high. Funding rates have generally been positive, and BTC call open interest has gradually risen. Additionally, the volatility smile has expanded for both BTC and ETH calls, indicating increased investor optimism.
Key Findings from the Report:
- Futures Market: While futures trade volumes have declined, open interest remains resilient, suggesting traders are maintaining their positions.
- Perpetual Swaps: Perpetual swap open interest and trading volumes have remained relatively stable, indicating consistent trader activity.
- Options Market: BTC options activity has favored puts over calls, but open interest for calls is slowly recovering. Implied volatility for short-tenor options has fallen since the Fed’s rate cut, indicating growing bullish sentiment.
Bybit remains committed to providing its users with comprehensive market analysis and tools to help them make informed trading decisions.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, is excited to invite users in Argentina to unlock early-bird access to the physical Bybit Card. As part of its ongoing efforts to reach more retail consumers and investors, Bybit reaffirms its commitment to becoming the go-to crypto destination in South America’s second-largest economy by GDP.
Building on the resounding success of its virtual card launch in July, the issuer is seeking to benefit more users with the introduction of the physical, Bybit-branded Mastercard debit card. Eligible applicants will be among the first to get hold of the card before it becomes available to the general public in Argentina.

We are doing our best to meet the popular demands of our Argentinian community by offering better, faster, and more secure everyday solutions to help them off-ramp crypto assets, one step at a time,” said Joan Han, Sales and Marketing Director of Bybit.
