What is a climate fixathon?

It’s a 4-week online hackathon for individuals or teams to use their tech skills to build and launch projects intended to help fix the climate. Several people are trying to use blockchain technology to store climatic data safely. Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have widely become popular. Traders who do not have time to monitor their trading frequently can use auto trading platforms. Take the Bit Index AI test to find a reliable trading bot.
