The word "crypto" could have been a great runner-up to "pandemic" in the most used words of 2020-21. Such is the popularity of it and so is its significance. The advantages of cryptocurrencies include cheaper and faster money transfers and decentralized systems that do not collapse at a single point of failure. Along with cryptocurrencies, birth of Crypto hackathons and workshops was also witnessed by the world. These crypto hackathon events allow enthusiasts to not only showcase their skills or build a portfolio but also network while winning exciting prizes. One such event "The Hack Boston" will be held on an Ivy League Campus. It is first ever crypto Hackathon to take place at Harvard University's Cambridge campus from September 23-25. Over 300 students from Harvard, MIT, and other Ivy League colleges will be in attendance and participate in workshops and mentoring sessions.
