Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 8, 2021) – iMining Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IMIN) (the “Company” or “iMining“), a blockchain infrastructure company, is sponsoring an iMIN DeFi challenge aimed at driving DeFi innovation on the Ethereum Protocol.

BlockHack is a 5-day hackathon which kicks off on November 8th in Toronto and will run through November 12th, with a conference being organized for November 13th where all the teams will present their ideas. Developers will take on challenges in multiple categories and results will be announced on Nov 14th. The winners of the hackathon will also get to pitch their projects at the BitAngels Investment event on Nov 18th.

As one of the gold sponsors for the upcoming hackathon, iMining is focusing its challenge on the DeFi category. For the challenge, developers will be tasked with creating an innovative protocol for a DEX platform with the use of a side chain to solve for high gas fees on the Ethereum network.

“As the first company to build an institutional platform for Ethereum 2.0 Staking, we have been huge supporters of the DeFi framework since day one,” said Khurram Shroff, Chairman & CEO of iMining. “With this challenge, we’re hoping to push developers to explore what is possible on the Ethereum blockchain and possibly find a new and scalable protocol that can complement the main Ethereum Ecosystem in the future,” he said.

The iMIN DeFi challenge offers Ethereum, Solidity and Blockchain developers an early opportunity to build the Ecosystem and potentially get additional acceleration for their project from iMining. As the sponsor, iMining has the privilege to choose the winning team and will be on the panel of notable judges, which also includes executives from Shopify, MMH Blockchain Group and BitAngels.
