2018年9月23日，伦敦——革命性EOSIO区块链协议的发布者Block.one将EOS全球马拉松系列带到了欧洲，在伦敦科技博物馆举办了这场英国有史以来最大盛事之一的区块链马拉松，公司EOS VC商业部门向专注于解决数据安全及隐私等现实问题的项目颁发了144,000美元奖金。
参与者挑战的问题是：在EOSIO平台创建一款完善技术与用户隐私或安全之间关系的应用。
头等奖100,000美元奖金颁给了英国搭档James Pavur及Casey Knerr组成的EOShield，他们开发的应用能通过以区块链为基础的验证及黑名单程序保护消费者免受恶意软件的袭击。
国际裁判团包括Block.one联合创始人及CEO Brendan Blumer及CTO Dan Larimer，还包括全球技术及区块链领导者们，他们从来自44个国家、90支团队的468名选手中挑选出优胜选手。参赛团队在展示创意之前，连续进行了26个小时的编程
“每年，黑客入侵及数据泄露花费了组织及个人数十亿美元，”Block.one CTO Dan Larimer讲道：“幸好，区块链技术为我们提供了确保连接世界安全的方式，并且它在保护用户隐私及数据安全上拥有巨大的潜力。现在正好使用我们在这个行业中学习到的创新技术去探索可行的解决方案，让大规模使用区块链技术成为一种便捷的方式。伦敦马拉松正好向世界展示了全球EOS社区正集火以达到这一目标。”
“在区块链开发的某些因素上，我们还不算成熟，而EOS马拉松为我们提供了一个绝妙的平台，让我们学习新的事物，”EOShield的Casey Knerr说道：“我们深信智能合约这一创意，这也是我们项目的核心。不可置信，我们真的获得了胜利！”
二等奖25,000美元颁给了Chestnut，一项银行帐户项目，它旨在帮助保护资金，抵御网络犯罪。
On The Block（一款免去第三方参与，简化信用检查的app）团队获得了三等奖10,000美元。
最佳社会影响力奖颁给了GeneOS，它开发的应用旨在鼓励个人以安全且匿名的方式捐献基因数据，用以未来研究阿尔兹海默症。
“伦敦是著名的商业中心和金融枢纽。近年来，它成为金融技术（Fintech）的目的地，现在它正不断朝区块链技术的热点城市发展，”Block.one开发者关系团队主管Serg Metelin说道，“对我们而言，没有其他地方比伦敦更适合解决隐私和安全问题。这周末我们所见识到的创造力及独创性向世界展示了区块链如何为这些挑战提供现实的解决方案。”

- Top prize awarded to EOShield—a blockchain malware protection project
- Winning teams take home US$144,000 in prizes awarded by EOS VC
- one’s largest ever event sees 468 participants in 90 teams from 44 countries
- Social impact prize awarded to biology project GeneOS
LONDON, September 23, 2018 — Block.one, publisher of the ground-breaking EOSIO blockchain protocol, brought its EOS Global Hackathon series to Europe, as London’s Science Museum played host to one of the UK’s biggest-ever blockchain hackathon events and the company’s EOS VC business unit awarded US$144,000 to projects focused on solving real-world problems related to data security and privacy.
Participants were challenged to: Create an application on the EOSIO platform that improves the relationship between technology and a user’s privacy or security.
The top prize of US$100,000 was won by EOShield, a team formed by UK-based duo James Pavur and Casey Knerr, who developed an application that can protect consumers from malware through a blockchain-based verification and blacklisting process.
A panel of international judges, including Block.one’s co-founders, CEO Brendan Blumer and CTO Dan Larimer, as well as other global technology and blockchain leaders, selected the winners from a pool of 90 teams, formed by 468 participants from a total of 44 countries. The teams spent 26 consecutive hours programming before pitching their ideas.
“Hacking and data leaks cost organizations and individuals billions of dollars every year,” said Block.one CTO Dan Larimer. “Fortunately, blockchain technology offers a way of securing our connected world, and has enormous potential for user privacy and data security. With the innovation we’re seeing in the industry, now is the time to explore workable solutions that make mass adoption of blockchain an easy step. It’s clear from our London hackathon that the global EOS community is very much focused on that goal.”
“We were very new to some elements of developing on blockchain, and the EOS hackathon provided a great format for us to learn new things,” said EOShield’s Casey Knerr. “We really believe in the idea of smart contracts, which are at the heart of our project. We’re incredibly excited to have won.”
A second prize of US$25,000 was awarded to Chestnut, a smart bank account project designed to help protect funds from cyber criminals.
The team behind On The Block, an app that simplifies credit-checks by removing third-parties, picked up US$10,000 for the third-place prize.
The Best Social Impact Prize was awarded to GeneOS for its work on an application that aims to incentivize individuals to donate genomics data in a secure, anonymized way to further research into Alzheimer’s disease.
“London is a renowned business center and financial hub. In recent years, it’s become a global fintech destination and now it’s emerging as a blockchain industry hotspot,” said Serg Metelin, Block.one’s Head of Developer Relations. “There’s no better place for us to look at solving privacy and security problems than here. The creativity and ingenuity we’ve witnessed over the weekend demonstrates how blockchain offers real-world solutions to these challenges.”
