This is the first phase of the Injective Global Hackathon series, and anyone can participate. We will also host technical workshops and developer meetings to help you embark on your journey into the Injective world.
To participate, please register here by March 20, 2023. The hackathon is set to begin in March. You can find more information on the official Injective Hackathon website.
What is the Injective Hackathon?
The Injective Global Hackathon is a developer event aimed at creating the next generation of premier Web3 applications. During the month-long online hackathon, you will have the opportunity to create new protocols and dApps under the guidance of leaders in the crypto industry.
With world-renowned venture capital firms, tech experts, researchers, projects, and financial institutions coming together to power the next generation of DeFi, the Injective Hackathon will serve as a crucial launchpad for developers looking to revolutionize the Web3 space.
Injective has witnessed rapid growth in developer activity and dApp deployments, with projects like Helix, Frontrunner, and White Whale launching on-chain. Last week, one of the largest AMMs in history, Astroport, also chose Injective as its new Layer-1 underlying chain. The Injective Hackathon will help propel developers to further innovate on a lightning-fast blockchain designed for DeFi.
