Translation: Flora

Austrian savings bank Erste Bank hosted a blockchain startup competition, with two teams focusing on Ethereum projects taking home the grand prize.

The two winning projects were Etherisc, an automated insurance tool, and Status, a mobile browser that supports both payments and decentralized applications. Each team received a prize of 5,000 euros in ether.

Three other projects stood out from dozens of ideas from 29 countries around the world and received Bitcoin worth 1,670 euros. They are Bernstein (an anonymous file tool), Minebox (decentralized cloud support) and Helperbit (decentralized insurance and donation platform). The bank said on November 30 that they initially selected a total of 20 finalists.

In a statement, Erste Bank said it was sponsoring the competition to assist with its ongoing investigation into blockchain, with a view to eventually developing new customer-facing services.
