Everscale launches hackathon with $43,000 prize pool

The Everscale community, together with developers from Broxus, Ylide and Qamon, launched the Everscale Elysium hackathon on the Gitcoin platform with a total prize pool of $43,000. The organizers told ForkLog.

Participants will be introduced to the technology and development tools for Everscale and will create a project in one of the proposed categories: GameFi, Web3-messaging or DeFi. Solo programmers can join one of the teams or opt for a simpler task.

Within Everscale Elysium, three team bounties are open:

• GameFi by Everscale;
• Wallet-to-Wallet Communication by Ylide;
• Onchain Composability by Broxus.

The prize pool for each track is $12,000.

Organisers also proposed smaller tasks for solo entrants:

• Quadratic Funding Protocol (prize $3,000);
• Ylide Mini-Products and Utilities ($2,000);
• OctusBridge Deployment in Everscale Devnet / Ethereum Testnet ($2,000).

Entries are accepted until November 28. Winners will be announced on December 7. Prizes will be paid in the Everscale cryptocurrency (EVER) or WEVER on the BNB Chain, Polygon, or Ethereum networks.

“For hackers not familiar with Everscale, we conducted masterclasses on smart contracts and development tools. Two Q&A sessions are planned as part of the event. News of the hackathon is posted in Discord, where participants can chat with each other, find a team and ask mentors questions,” the organizers said.

Back in September 2022, in Switzerland, the Everscale Foundation was established.
