Amid the success of our bounties program, we’re proud to be partnering with Gitcoin again on Nervos Hackathon: Broaden the Spectrum, a three-week virtual hackathon event that will bring $200,000 in prizes!
We’re inviting talented builders to create cutting-edge Layer 2 applications using Nervos’ next-generation tools:
- Force Bridge, a cross-chain bridge that allows the transfer of assets to and from Ethereum, with more chains to come in the future.
- Polyjuice, which provides a scalable smart contract platform that is EVM compatible using Solidity.
- Godwoken, a framework to build rollups and trustlessly verify their executions on the base layer protocols.
Your application can be anything, but here are some ideas to get your creative juice flowing:
- Decentralized exchanges, on-chain order books, automated market makers and DEX aggregators
- Collateralized stablecoins
- Lending and derivative markets
- Oracles
- Tokenized synthetic assets
- DAO’s
- ..and anything else innovative!
Submission Requirements
- Submissions must be open source and deployed live on the Aggron testnet, with links provided.
- Sufficient documentation is required to compile and deploy the application.
- The application must be useful and interesting.
- A demo video (5-10 minutes) must be submitted explaining the project and how to use it.
All projects must be submitted by October 4th at 11:59 PM UTC.
