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, backed by the MultiversX Foundation, Hatom, XOXNO, and the Injective Foundation, brought together 14 elite Web3 developers from around the globe. Their mission? To create a unified solution for one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: fragmented user identity across multiple blockchains.
The Outcome: Helios Connect dApp
After 384 intense hours of coding and development, the result was Helios Connect—a revolutionary dApp that allows users to create a single, cohesive identity spanning various blockchain ecosystems. The Helios Connect MVP was successfully deployed on both the Injective and MultiversX mainnets, featuring a sleek interface and robust smart contract functionality.
This open-source innovation aims to simplify identity management, enhancing security and usability in the decentralized ecosystem. “Helios Connect is a game-changer,” remarked Robert Sasu, Core Developer of MultiversX.
“It’s incredible to see what can be achieved when brilliant minds collaborate. In just 10 days, we brought a viable product to market, proving that innovation doesn’t have to be a solo effort.”

An Unprecedented Collaboration
The Helios Collabathon was not just a coding marathon; it was a convergence of expertise from diverse fields, including coding, marketing, and business development. The event featured four workshops led by industry experts, such as Robert Sasu of MultiversX and Joan from Injective Labs. These sessions facilitated knowledge-sharing and fostered a spirit of collaboration that extended beyond the immediate goals 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’re excited to keep pushing the boundaries and exploring new possibilities for collaborative innovation.”
Building a Stronger Web3 Ecosystem
Helios Connect is more than just a dApp; it’s a foundational tool designed to support a variety of cross-chain applications, from governance and tax tooling to ticketing systems and anti-scam solutions. By providing an open-source platform, Helios Connect empowers 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.
