Microsoft Decentralized Identity is identity on Blockchain allowing users to take true ownership of their data. Join the hackathon to build a solution that issues and verifies Verifiable Credentials (VCs) for a chance to win some awesome swag.

Come together virtually in an intense, fun-filled, four-day weekend to develop and build solutions that make use of Azure Active Directory Verifiable Credentials to empower scenarios where users need to own and control their identities.

Don’t have any experience with Decentralized Identity and Azure Active Directory? Not a problem; our engineering team is available on Discord to support you along the way! 

WHAT TO BUILD
Build any type of app (mobile, web, desktop) using your preferred programming language that uses the Verifiable Credential REST API to issue and verify VCs.
