<h3>VICTORIA, SEYCHELLES, April 13th, 2023, Chainwire</h3>
OKT Chain (OKTC), the EVM and Wasm-compatible chain backed by OKX, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has announced its sponsorship of the upcoming<a href="https://consensus.coindesk.com/web3athon/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> Web3athon</a> event taking place in conjunction with<a href="https://consensus.coindesk.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> Consenus 2023</a>.

Organized by Coindesk, Hackerearth, and Alchemy, the event is set to take place online from April 17 to May 31, with additional offline activities taking place at Consensus 2023 in Austin, Texas. Following the success of the 2022 Web3athon event, which was the largest multi-chain hack to date, this year's event promises to be even bigger and better, bringing together over 5,000 developers from around the world to create new decentralized applications.

At the event, OKTC will also be hosting online and offline workshops to explore the chain's cutting-edge Wasm and EVM interoperability capabilities and introduce the wider OKTC ecosystem.

The Web3athon sponsorship is just one of OKTC's initiatives to support developers and provide them with the tools, resources, and support the developers need to bring their ideas to life and drive innovation in the blockchain space.
<h3>OKX and OKT Chain's dedication to building developer communities</h3>
OKT Chain’s sponsorship of the Web3athon event aligns with its vision of empowering individuals and organizations to adopt blockchain technology and foster a decentralized future.
