Ethereum, Tezos, Stellar Foundations back a hackathon to make crypto ‘useful and usable’

Yogita Khatri

The hackathon, organized by design firm IDEO’s business unit IDEO CoLab, and token sale platform CoinList, starts on Aug. 5 and ends on Sept. 22, according to an announcement today.

“By putting the emphasis of the hackathon squarely on usability, we hope to push teams to expand the number of potential users and make their experiences accessible to new users who aren’t already using crypto or decentralized applications,” Dan Elitzer, an investor at IDEO CoLab Ventures, told The Block.
