What's the hackathon about?
Combating fraud and financial crime is a critical priority for businesses, governments, and regulators. However, many compliance processes remain manual, resource-intensive, and vulnerable to delays or errors. The rise of AI and blockchain technology opens up new possibilities for automation and efficiency.
The Block & Order Hackathon challenges participants to develop AI-driven compliance agents that can:
- 🚨 Detect non-compliant transactions
- 🔍 Flag high-risk activities
- 🦹♂️Prevent fraud and cybersecurity threats
- 📊 Automate regulatory reporting
These solutions aim not only to streamline business compliance but also to create a safer ecosystem for all. By addressing the misconception that blockchain is primarily used for illicit activities, the Hackathon fosters greater trust and helps drive mainstream adoption, proving blockchain’s potential as a force for public good.
