SKEY Network, the world’s first connector combining the Internet of Things (IoT) devices with blockchain technology, has today launched the world’s largest crypto-based competition for start-ups, individuals and companies.

In line with the launch of its own proprietary blockchain, SKEY Network will be offering a total prize fund of USD $1 Million in SKEY tokens to be split between ten winners. The prize fund is divided into a series of grants, awarded at different stages of the competition with ten top prize winners and a special prize awarded by the CEO for the best overall project. Winners will also retain all rights of ownership to products manufactured as part of the competition. The jury is composed of leading names in the global IoT, smart city and blockchain worlds.

This is part of our commitment to underpinning future use cases for smart cities and we can’t wait to see what our competitors can create.”
