With the Pillar Wallet fast becoming the wallet of choice for thousands of token holders and users this year, we held our first developer event on the 17th and 18th of January.

We are excited about collaborating with other blockchain projects on integrating their networks into our infrastructure. Two major goals of our first Pillar Hackathon were to build develop outreach, and to raise interest in the Wallet’s code.

We invited some of our closest friends from the crypto space to work with us, including solution architects from NEM and Radix, along with DigiByte, represented by DGBAT devs. Our unique hackathon, with its three different challenges, provided an opportunity for the soft launch of our developer community. Soft, but successful!

The first team to take the challenge was NEM, which got integrated into our blockchain explorer. The purpose of this exercise was to identify the limitations in the existing architecture and specify the requirements for Pillar to become a multi-chain wallet. Our work with István, NEM’s Solution Architect, was extremely useful and helped us understand how we can best integrate NEM and other Bitcoin-based blockchains.
