Costa Brava, Spain – In a groundbreaking move to promote collaboration in the Web3 space, MultiversX (EGLD) has teamed up with Helios Staking to organize the inaugural Helios Collabathon.
This ambitious event, supported by the MultiversX Foundation, Hatom, XOXNO, and the Injective Foundation, brought together 14 top-tier Web3 developers from across the globe. Their objective? To develop a unified solution for the prevalent issue of fragmented user identity across multiple blockchains.
The Result: Helios Connect dApp
After 384 hours of intense coding and development, Helios Connect was born—a cutting-edge dApp allowing users to establish a single, cohesive identity across various blockchain ecosystems. The Helios Connect MVP was successfully deployed on both the Injective and MultiversX mainnets, featuring a sleek interface and robust smart contract functionality.
This open-source innovation aims to streamline identity management, enhancing security and usability in the decentralized ecosystem. “Helios Connect is a game-changer,” stated Robert Sasu, Core Developer of MultiversX. “It’s amazing to witness the power of collaboration. In just 10 days, we brought a viable product to market, proving that innovation thrives in a collaborative environment.”
An Unprecedented Collaboration
The Helios Collabathon was more than just a coding marathon; it was a convergence of expertise from various fields, including coding, marketing, and business development. The event included workshops led by industry experts like Robert Sasu of MultiversX and Joan from Injective Labs, fostering knowledge-sharing and a spirit of collaboration that extended beyond the event’s immediate objectives.
Kevin Lydon, Co-founder and Managing Director of Helios Staking, expressed his excitement: “The Collabathon was a huge success. It’s not just about what we built, but how we built it—together. We look forward to pushing boundaries and exploring new avenues for collaborative innovation.”
Building a Stronger Web3 Ecosystem
Helios Connect goes beyond being just a dApp; it serves as a foundational tool to support a range of cross-chain applications, from governance and tax tooling to ticketing systems and anti-scam solutions. By providing an open-source platform, Helios Connect empowers developers to build on its technology, fostering a more interconnected and resilient Web3 ecosystem.
This initiative aligns perfectly with the MultiversX Foundation’s mission to drive blockchain adoption through meaningful, community-driven projects.
