Costa Brava, Spain – In a groundbreaking move to drive collaboration over competition in the Web3 space, MultiversX (EGLD) has partnered with Helios Staking to host the first-ever Helios Collabathon.
—
This ambitious event, supported by the MultiversX Foundation, Hatom, XOXNO and the Injective Foundation, brought together 14 elite Web3 developers from around the world. Their mission? To create a unified solution to one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: fragmented user identity across multiple blockchains.
The result: Helios Connect dApp
After 384 intensive hours of coding and development, the result was Helios Connect: a revolutionary dApp that allows users to create one cohesive identity spanning different blockchain ecosystems. The Helios Connect MVP was successfully deployed on both the Injective and MultiversX mainnets, with a sleek interface and robust smart contract functionality.
This open-source innovation aims to simplify identity management and improve security and usability in the decentralized ecosystem. “Helios Connect is a game-changer,” said Robert Sasu, Core Developer of MultiversX.
“It’s incredible to see what can be achieved when brilliant minds work together. In just ten days we brought a viable product to market, proving that innovation doesn’t have to be a solo effort.”

An unparalleled collaboration
The Helios Collabathon wasn’t just a coding marathon; it was an amalgamation of expertise from various fields including coding, marketing and business development. The event consisted of four workshops led by industry experts such as Robert Sasu from MultiversX and Joan from Injective Labs. These sessions facilitated knowledge sharing and promoted a spirit of collaboration beyond the immediate objectives of the event.
Kevin Lydon, co-founder and managing director of Helios Staking, expressed his enthusiasm: “This Collabathon was a resounding success. It’s not just about what we built, but how we built it together. We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries and exploring new possibilities for collaborative innovation.”
Building a stronger Web3 ecosystem
Helios Connect is more than just a dApp; it is a foundational tool designed to support a variety of cross-chain applications, from governance and tax tools to ticketing systems and anti-scam solutions. By offering an open source platform, Helios Connect enables other developers to build on its technology, fostering a more interconnected and resilient Web3 ecosystem.
This initiative aligns perfectly with the mission of the MultiversX Foundation, which is committed to accelerating blockchain adoption through meaningful, community-driven projects.
