IOTA Teams Up with Hackster.io to Propel Development of Smart Cities
IOTA Foundation has just announced the launch of its Smart City Hackathon that will be hosted by Hackster.io, the largest hardware-oriented community in the world. The initiative will help streamline the adoption of IOTA’s protocol.
From smart electricity to smart parking lots
The participants of the Smart City contest will be required to develop their creative open source solutions by utilizing IOTA’s Tangle. The developers are supposed to address a number of real-world problems that are faced by numerous corporate clients. The themes include smart mobility, smart energy, smart buildings, and smart districts. For example, one of the challenges is tracing the origin of renewable energy (from solar panel to home).
