The Under 30 Hackathon is part of a larger goal to advance the potential of Gen Z representatives and foster crypto and blockchain adoption among young specialists. Discovering potential leaders is also a major goal of the CSR initiative, which is why Bitget will be allocating in excess of $10 million to it over the coming few years.
