Hacken, an ecosystem of white-hat hackers and the bug bounty marketplace with a focus on blockchain security, impressed investors at the leading conference on decentralization, D10e.

Hacken co-Founder Dmytro Budorin’s outstanding pitch on the stage which was watched by the stars of the World Economic Forum, received 3rd place out of 23 startups from around the world and a $83,333 reward. The jury based their decision on the following judging criteria: business model, scalability, team, investor terms/liquidity, solution of the problem, token model/ token and proceeds distribution. The 12th D10e edition took place from November 11-14, 2017 in Davos, Switzerland.

This is Hacken’s second victory at D10e: only this last September Hacken took 2nd place in the pitch contest in Kyiv, Ukraine, winning 33 BTC for project development.
