Join TanechFund and Polkadot in London this summer

For the first Polkadot summer hackathon in our #180DaysOfPolkadot series, we can’t wait to be in one of our favorite cities, London! Fun fact: our first ever Polkadot student hackathon was in London, so it’s a pretty special city for both of us!

We can't wait to see what new Polkadot projects are built, and which existing projects continue to be built out!

We're unbelievably excited to bring you this opportunity that we've been working so hard on with the Polkadot Ecosystem, and we can hardly wait to welcome you in London this July 20-21!
