比赛凝聚社区力量，共抗新冠后世界问题
区块链软件发布方Block.one今日宣布进行了月余的EOSIO“为改变而编程”虚拟马拉松冠军，随着各个社区开始从新冠肺炎的冲击下稳定下来，并开展重建工作，该赛事收到了各类期望利用区块链技术解决新挑战的应用。
社交距离及隔离阻断了众多活动，其中出现显著下降的便是献血，这导致全球血库出现短缺。为解决这一问题，获胜团队Lifebank设计出一款应用程序，能够在合格捐献者及献血中心及赞助方之间构建价值交换，从而为当地社区带来了一线生机。该App利用EOSIO区块链技术让用户能能够创建EOS账户，从而管理他们完整的捐血流程（从验证捐献者到将本地公司注册为赞助方）从而换取生命代币。
作为EOSIO虚拟马拉松的冠军，Lifebank获得了价值10万美元的奖金。
“新冠肺炎暴露了我们关键体系的弱点。”Block.one首席执行官Brendan Blumer说道：“我们评估过的众多项目提出了多个创新想法，以协助个体及企业从疫情的经济及社会冲击中恢复。我们选择LIfebank作为本次马拉松的冠军是因为他们使用区块链解决了一个看似难以应付的问题：在大规模阻断的情况下出现献血短缺。他们致力于帮助确保未来的卫生供应链，对此，我们乐见其成。”
评审包括Ivan on Tech Academy创始人、区块链国际演讲人Ivan Liljeqvist。“我很荣幸也很乐意担任EOSIO马拉松的评审，这些优质且多样化的想法令我印象深刻。”Ivan说道：“我个人全职教授区块链编程，非常高兴能够看到如此多的人理解EOSIO的独特性，以及它在各行各业中的潜在应用。”
EOSIO虚拟马拉松始于2020年5月1日，有来自92个国家超900名选手参与了此次盛会。提出的方案包括巩固医疗资源供应链、实现教育及雇佣平等，以及加强对捐献的信任感。

Competition draws community together to collaborate on response to issues in a post-COVID-19 world
Blockchain software publisher Block.one announced today the winner of the month-long EOSIO “Coding for Change” Virtual Hackathon, which drew diverse applications leveraging blockchain technology aimed at providing new solutions to new challenges as communities begin to stabilize and rebuild from the dramatic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the many disruptions caused by social distancing and quarantines has been a sharp decline in blood donations, resulting in blood bank shortages across the globe. To address this issue, winning team Lifebank designed an application that has the potential to provide a lifeline to local communities by creating value exchange between eligible donors, donation centers and sponsors. By leveraging EOSIO blockchain technology, the app enables users to create EOS accounts to manage their entire blood donation process, from validating donors to registering local businesses as sponsors in exchange for receiving a life token.
As the winner of the EOSIO Virtual Hackathon, Lifebank is awarded a prize of US$100,000.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of our critical systems,” said Brendan Blumer, CEO of Block.one. “Many of the projects that we evaluated proposed innovative ways to assist individuals and businesses in recovering from the economic and social ramifications of the pandemic. We selected Lifebank as the winner of the hackathon for their use of blockchain technology to solve a seemingly intractable problem: blood donation shortage in the wake of large-scale disruptions. They are positioned to help secure the healthcare supply chain in the future, and we’re excited to watch their continued success.”
The judges included Ivan Liljeqvist, founder of Ivan on Tech Academy and international speaker about blockchain. “It’s been a pleasure and an honor to judge the EOSIO Hackathon, and I was very impressed by the quality and diversity of the ideas,” said Ivan. “I personally work full-time teaching blockchain programming, and it’s great to see that so many people understood the uniqueness of EOSIO and its possible applications across different sectors and industries.”
The EOSIO Virtual Hackathon kicked off May 1, 2020, concluding with more than 900 participants spanning 92 countries engaging in spirited competition. Solutions included strengthening supply chains for medical resources, bringing equity to education and hiring, and encouraging trust in donations.
