Build for more security in the Bitcoin sector
The hackathon is organized by Binance and “Tribe Selector”, a state blockchain organization. The official announcement states that the BUIDL platform will be set up to increase security in the crypto sector:
“Binance SAFU Hackathon calls on all #BUIDLers in the world to join us in visiting BUIDL, an open platform that fights against fraud, hacks and money laundering to protect our users.
