Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads
This past week, I had the pleasure of attending Austin Consensus 2024 and participating in the EasyA hackathon! š„
The energy and innovation at the Austin Consensus 2024 were palpable. Among the many exciting events and discussions, the highlight for me was being a part of the EasyA hackathon with CoinDesk . It was a whirlwind of creativity, collaboration, and cutting-edge technology.

Our Project: White Hydrogen DeFi
I was part of an incredible team that worked on an ambitious project we called White Hydrogen DeFi. The concept was to create a decentralized investment framework that opens investment opportunities in naturally occurring white hydrogen to anyone, anywhere, and with any amount.
White hydrogen, a renewable energy source trapped in underground geological formations, offers immense potential due to its minimal environmental impact during harvesting and use. This project aimed to democratize access to this promising energy resource, allowing more people to invest in and benefit from sustainable energy solutions.
Utilizing Stellar for Our dApp šŖ
To bring our vision to life, we chose to build our decentralized application (dApp) on the Stellar platform. Stellar's robust ecosystem and features were perfect for creating a secure, transparent, and efficient platform for our investment framework. Throughout the hackathon, I delved deep into the Stellar ecosystem, learning the intricacies of developing a dApp and the unique advantages Stellar offers.
The Event Experience
The event itself was fantastic! I had the opportunity to learn from industry experts, network with like-minded individuals, and gain hands-on experience with innovative blockchain technologies. The knowledge and skills I acquired in just a few days were invaluable.
Final Thoughts
Austin Consensus 2024 and the EasyA hackathon were more than just events; they were a glimpse into the future of technology and sustainability. I'm excited to continue exploring the possibilities of white hydrogen and blockchain technology, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next. š
