You know a town has real Western cred when a pickup truck is named after it. Yarp, Laramie is a cowboy town, through and through – it may have the lowest sneaker-to-cowboy-boot ratio in the entire nation. But this weekend it played host to an entirely different Wild West: the WyoHackathon, a celebration of blockchain tech at the University of Wyoming.

Earlier this year Wyoming became “America’s Cryptocurrency Capital”, passing five pro-blockchain laws led by the Wyoming Blockchain Coalition and Representative Tyler Lindholm.

Some of these bills passed through the House unanimously.  Wyoming is now welcoming blockchain companies with open arms, regulatory support, and excellent education system for families who are considering relocation.

As such it was no surprise to have the first ever annual WyoHackathon hosted in the beautiful mountain town of Laramie, WY ,nestled between two mountains at 7,165 ft with a unique blend of western hospitality and sophistication.

The event was organized by Caitlin Long Chairman of Wyoming Blockchain Coalition and the University of Wyoming, supported by some of the Colorado Blockchain community members.

The event was free, giving people an opportunity to hear an extraordinary lineup of speakers including

During the event

All participants were provided a delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and lots of free promotional gifts from sponsors such as T shirts, water bottles, phone popsockets, mugs, warm cozy blankets and even toothbrushes (which were a hugely successful item)!
