Flare Network and Google Cloud Host Hackathon Focusing on Verifiable AI Using Trusted Execution Environments

The event is scheduled to start at UC Berkeley with Blockchain at Berkeley starting on March 7. The hackathon features a total prize pool of $100,000

Flare Network, a distributed protocol that incorporates the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), is hosting a hackathon in collaboration with Google Cloud. The event will focus on Verifiable AI using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and will be held at UC Berkeley with Blockchain at Berkeley starting on March 7.

The hackathon will feature a total prize pool of $100,000, with $60,000 designated for in-person participants and $40,000 for virtual participants. Interested parties can register for the event on Devpost.

According to an official tweet by FLR Info, the event will center on developing applications that utilize Verifiable AI and TEEs to enhance the trustworthiness and transparency of AI models. The applications will be built on the Flare Network, showcasing the capabilities of its EVM-compatible blockchain.

Participants will have the opportunity to leverage Google Cloud's TEE technology, which enables the secure execution of code and protection of sensitive data within a hardware-enforced trusted environment. This technology aligns with Flare Network's focus on facilitating decentralized applications (DApps) and scaling smart contract networks.

The event is expected to attract developers, researchers, and students interested in contributing to the advancement of Verifiable AI and blockchain technology.
