In order to better understand the needs of our customers (and also to have fun), Curvegrid hosted its first internal Hackathon this February. Each team member came up with a unique application of the MultiBaas REST API to interact with the blockchain. Here are a few highlights:

Sam Schumacker linked RStudio with MultiBaas for analytics of smart contract Events. Daenam crafted an IOT door unlocker leveraging Arduino, a lego door, and an enterprise wallet (hardware security module, or HSM). Pierre laid out initial designs for a Blockchain payment for a DeLonghi Espresso Machine. William connected the Tableau business intelligence and analytics platform to MultiBaas Event Queries, and Jeff built a conduit that demonstrated how crypto assets could be automatically moved between on-blockchain wallets.

Anna leveraged MultiBaas’ API and the creative programming platform Glitch to create a VR visualization of burned ERC20 tokens. My project combined Japanese curry with ERC721 to generate one-of-a-kind recipes.
