Ahead of the opening of the '2025 Blockchain & AI Hackathon', a technology briefing session was held on the 15th in Yeouido, Seoul to enhance the technological understanding and practical capabilities of the contest participants. Around 100 hackathon applicants attended this event, showing great interest.
The hackathon is hosted by the Korea Digital Certification Association (Chairman Lee Ki-hyeok), which aims to standardize digital certification technology and build a global ecosystem, and is co-hosted by Raon Secure (Co-CEOs Lee Soon-hyung and Lee Jeong-ah) and the Global Digital Innovation Network (GDIN, CEO Kim Jong-gap).
The briefing session introduced information about the hackathon in general, including the outline and theme of the competition, operating method, schedule, judging criteria, and award benefits. In particular, this year’s competition is themed on the convergence of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI), encouraging the derivation of practical technology-based ideas, and the application of mobile ID services (mobile resident registration cards, driver’s licenses, national veterans registration cards, etc.) was presented as a prerequisite.
Participants were given an explanation of the structure and utilization methods of key technology elements that are given bonus points, such as 'OmniOne Open DID' and 'OmniOne Mainnet'. In addition, there was an introduction to development tools necessary for carrying out actual projects, such as API, SDK, development infrastructure, and datasets.
During the Q&A session following the briefing, participants were able to resolve their practical questions, and through free networking time, they explored possibilities for team formation and collaboration.
Lee Ki-hyeok, Chairman of the Korea Digital Certification Association, said, “This technology briefing focused on helping participants set a clear development direction and demonstrate their capabilities in a fair environment,” and added, “I hope this hackathon will be an opportunity to implement future services based on blockchain and AI.”
