Have you heard about all the blockchain activity happening in the state of Wyoming?
The Wyoming Blockchain Coalition is up there raising awareness and educating the state. While the Wyoming Blockchain Task Force is introducing legislation to encouraging blockchain using businesses to incorporate in Wyoming.

web3devs heard about the pro-blockchain activities taking place and decided we should see it for ourselves. A group of us participated in the WyoHackathon 2018. Not only did we connect with the amazing people behind all the positive blockchain business activity, we won big with our submitted project.

Our WyoHackathon Strategy: REVEALED

We had two main focuses:

  1. Go after the Best for Wyoming Challenge
  2. Incorporate as many of the additional bounties as possible

Wyoming had passed 5 pro-blockchain laws earlier in the year. The 5 laws were a popular topic both on the stage and off the stage. Wyoming is providing a healthy place for blockchain using businesses to incorporate. The laws make it easier for Wyoming LLCs to conduct B2B transactions and that is what we wanted to create a project around.

WyoHackathon web3devs Project

The project we submitted was called Electronic Corporate Formation Portal.

Our project was created for the Wyoming Secretary of State to:

  • Register your business online
  • Create/store public blockchain addresses for the business
  • Provide a crypto payment method

We were able to incorporate 6 bounties into the project.
