This Hackathon is organised by the European Blockchain Convention, whose 10th edition will be from September 25-26 here in Barcelona.It is completely free to apply to the Hackathon and the topics are Blockchain, Crypto and DeFi (decentralised finance).

The sponsor of this Hackathon is Radix (radixdlt.com). Radix DLT is a pioneering layer one protocol dedicated to building a decentralised, scalable, and secure foundation for the next generation of decentralised applications (dApps). With a mission to unlock the potential of decentralised finance (DeFi), Radix DLT focuses on providing a high-performance, developer-friendly, and user-centric platform that overcomes the limitations of existing blockchain solutions.

What to build

• Consider building dApps in high-potential categories:
  • Lending & Borrowing Money Markets
  • Real World Assets (RWA)
  • Yield Derivatives
  • NFT Pro Trading
  • Launchpad
  • Stablecoins & Collateralized Debt Position (CDP)
  • Liquid Staking & Restaking
• Get ideas from the Scrypto Challenges repository, with a wide variety of projects about DEXes, Oracles, Lending, Portfolio Management, DAOs, NFTs for financial apps, DeFi, and yield derivatives projects.
• Scrypto Community Scrypto Examples, a place where the community has uploaded their examples, many of which have earned the £1500 Dev Incentive for impressing the team.
• Are you up to build for yield derivatives? Check out our latest Yield Derivatives Challenge boilerplate inspired by Pendle Finance, which was helpful for the latest Scrypto challenge.
• Get inspired by the Value Prop database: The Value Prop highlights a wide range of blockchain-based Internet applications across various sectors, including social impact, education, and security. These applications have been making a positive difference in people’s lives globally.

REQUIREMENTS

Evaluation Criteria

• Use of Radix Tech Stack: The project must be Scrypto package (composed of blueprints) deployed on Stokenet and a frontend integrated with Radix dApp Toolkit.
• Quality and Asset-Orientedness of Code: Assess the participant’s skill in applying asset-oriented programming principles from our docs and design patterns where it’s applicable.
• Breadth of Functionality: Rate the range of functionalities provided in the submission and their utility. Especially if it’s a novel or more complex functional of common DeFi dApps – e.g. a Uniswap V2 DEX is less interesting than something like a Balancer type dApp or Uniswap V3.
• Quality of Documentation and Code Comments: Evaluate the clarity, thoroughness, and usefulness of documentation and comments within the code.
• Transaction Manifest: Evaluate the use and understanding of the transaction manifest.
• UI/UX Experience: Assess the proficiency with which the participants utilise a frontend framework.
• Innovation and Creativity: Evaluate the level of innovation and creativity displayed in the project’s approach and solutions.

All skills are welcome and needed. The hackathon is open to all profiles, but every team will require at least one developer to submit an MVP for judging.

All participants should sign-up individually, regardless of team formation, which will take place briefly prior to the hackathon kick-off. Hackers can encourage their desired teammates to apply so they can all join the hackathon as a single group. Teams are not expected to be formed by more than 4 participants.

Food and beverages will be provided by the organisation.

Judging is done by the Radix team based on judging and acceptance criteria of the challenges.
