VeChain launches developer bounty and app development challenges

The VeChain Foundation, the governance behind the VeChain enterprise-level public blockchain platform, has announced new and on-going developer bounties and application development challenges for its VeChainThor blockchain. The goal is to boost application development and make people aware of VeChainThor’s features.

The “VeChain Application Development Challenge” will run until the VeChain developer conference — VeChain Summit 2019 scheduled for April 18th at Fort Mason, San Francisco. There will be a total reward pool of 40M VETs. Teams will be showcased at the conference by the Foundation and ecosystem builders to various enterprises and funds that are looking to bolster their influence within this space.
