with our kickoff session and uh uh quick quick introduction to myself I'm Chichen I'm the organizer for if kale and also kill mini hack for this additional company hack and I'm excited to see what all of you will do and excited to see you guys in real life and feel free to use the chat um to to ask questions and we are we have we have a co-admins and co-hosts that will be answering in case I can't answer and at the end we will have like a short q a uh to to clear adults and and yeah that's all that's all for me let's wait for a couple more minutes uh to let people come in and we can start thank you for patience all right uh it's now 905 so we can already start and uh for those who are missing the first up don't worry we'll be recording it uh and post it on YouTube uh in a while so let me so hi everyone I hope you all can see the screen um again introduction my name is Chichen I'm one of the committee for ekl Malaysia and today and this in this time we are hosting a KL mini hack session and um yep just let me go to the slides so okay first up who are we we are if kale a non-profit organization here in Malaysia so what we do is that we focuses a lot on we focus a lot of tech and development of ethereum and in the web free system ecosystem so what we do we share about the latest Technologies we invite guest speakers to come to our Workshop uh in real life and uh online workshops we also have a lot of study groups that are ongoing right now so uh for those who want to learn more about us we you can find us on Twitter uh here uh if kl1 uh we we also often post our events on Meetup so do definitely check those out and finally for those who are looking for past recordings or past workshops we are on Twitter YouTube uh just search ethereum Malaysia and and you'll be able to find us uh this is this logo yeah you'll be able to find a state so and why do we want to have a hackathon so uh since last July or August somewhere around there we have seen recent successes from uh teams and actually participants from Malaysia in hackathons all around the world so uh we have seen students that have no knowledge about web3 or and gaining a lot of successes in hackathon so those are something that uh we feel that is good and we wish to encourage more of you to continue uh doing so so uh I believe that personally hackathon is a good way for everyone to do a Hands-On uh hangs on how can I say to a hangout experience and to encourage you to build so for example if you were to only attend a workshop you would and probably enjoy the workshop but you wouldn't be encouraged to to how can I say follow on Twitter or build something at the end of the workshop you'll probably just say oh okay that sounds cool but that's all you get but by by participating in hackathon you are kind of like motivated to to hack or build something and that that that real life experience is something that is invaluable and yeah so and we would like to uh use this uh week this small mini hackathon to encourage and spur as much as many of you students newcomers I like to join us in our uh in our web free ecosystem and by having hands-on experience at building and hopefully uh you'll be like one of those over here we are sitting here over here in Vietnam uh enjoying our food that was when we are at one of the all recent successes in in a global hackathon uh uh firstly before I continue on I would like to thank all the sponsors uh without any particular order we are we are sponsored by the ethereum ecosystem support program they are from the internal foundation and they provide grants uh for any uh any ethereum uh anything that will improve the ecosystem in ethereum or web free in general so thanks to them and uh sciflex they are a consulting company for in blockchain etherscan uh is based on Malaysian it's based in Malaysia for those who use uh it who owns who are already involved in Waptrick you will definitely heard of either scan but for those who not who have not either scan is a block explorer that will be whether it's very I think that is the most commonly used block Explorer in the world and uh they're from Malaysia so that's really cool and we have edu dial is educational Dao that encourages universities and universities students to also participate in web 3 and they have events all around the world and they affected houses and uh yeah we are glad glad to have them to sponsors uh then we'll have we have stock Net stock net is a layer 2 scaling uh layered L2 layer 2 and they are on validity roller and their goal is to scale ethereum and because we know that ethereum suffers a lot from uh Network congestions so start provides one of the solution to do that and we have scroll scroll also is a layer two but they take a different approach they take the ZK evm approach uh don't worry for those who understand these two will be giving a talk uh throughout the week I'll talk about all about that so they are also layer 2 scaling solution and finally we have certain is a smart contract auditing company uh that gets your uh that ensures that your contract is uh audited and make sure and help you to uh find a vulnerabilities in your contract before it's out in the in production so thank you to all the sponsors uh we also have in real life event and we would like to thank Apu blockchain club for being our venue sponsor so throughout this scale mini hack week we do we have prepared uh online and in real life uh talks and workshops so let me share about these schedules over here on tomorrow which is the 12th February at 4 pm we will have a unlearn and we learn ethereum basic session this is uh for those who are new to the space and would like to know more on how ethereum and blockchain work in general uh all talks are open public so it doesn't matter if you are not a past participant for the hacker part and on 7 30 we will then talk about uh the clients in ethereum there are many crit

recommended teams but not compulsory these are teams that uh uh how can I say are more trendy recently so I think so zero knowledge is something that is very hot and trendy in the user market so these are extra brownie points or bonus points depending on how Innovative you are and L2 scaling Solutions so if you're building on L2 that would be very very cool D5 has been always a talk in an electric space and finding account abstraction which is a way to improve ux in web 3. so these are the four recommended themes but you do not have to always you don't have to build specifically on them but you're encouraged to build on them so the team size uh you the team size you can have up from one to up to five people uh but only one person need to be present on the 18th of February for live demo so you can have people from all around Malaysia or even all around the world to join but one person has to be on a Apu on the 18th of February to to perform the live demo and we'll have a couple of Judges we are still finalizing footage as will be yeah that's all and finally the demo format will be a five minutes pitch to the audience and five minutes q a by the judges so that's all for the uh

and finally uh if you have not already do join us on telegram this is a QR code and I will yeah I will I would leave this page on for a bit and uh for those who want feel free to unmute yourself and ask questions or if you're shy feel free to use the zoom chat uh to to also ask questions and I will I will try my best to reply I see no questions discussion by there's a question any cheat sheet that Aggregates all useful resources to start on this uh uh can can you elaborate on what do you mean by cheat sheet that Aggregates all useful resources excuse me excuse me sir yes as someone who doesn't really have any experience or knowledge on like blockchain technology can I like is there any resources I can use for like to start building or do I have to learn from the workshops that you will conduct uh definitely how you encourage that you also learn on the side because the workshop is not comprehensive enough to cover everything from a to z so they are definitely resources online it depends on yeah what you're looking for but someone suggested Speed Run ethereum I think that's a good way to start get started on building like a scout like us a way to how can I say bootstrap on uh on your on your building uh Journey so and yeah um thanks for the question I hope that helps thank you uh and what kind of project will we will be building again like uh if I recall correctly I haven't used video interior for uh at all so it's a nice little way for you to build like a front-end and be able to interact with contracts behind so you don't have to worry too much about a lot of this front-end code that uh normally boilerplates okay actually that's a good question you need us up to the next section um so everybody have fun and uh right now we'll move on to a small session whereby we'll try to try to like do it like a quick computer temperature check as to how many of you are still looking for a team or still looking for a topic to hack so we'll have like a short discussion uh I will stop sharing because this will be a more casual session so feel free to ask away I'm sorry I will start recording
