Coinbase & HackerEarth Hackathon is Live !!!

The XDC Network is an open-source, enterprise-grade, EVM-compatible Layer 1 network equipped with interoperable smart contracts. A highly optimized, bespoke fork of Ethereum, the XDC Network reaches consensus through a delegated proof-of-stake (XDPoS) mechanism, which allows for two-second transaction time, near zero gas fees, and over 2,000 transactions per second (TPS), and interoperability with ISO 20022 financial messaging standards.

The XDC Network aims to accelerate the expansion and development of Layer 2 projects across the XDC Ecosystem and to facilitate network adoption and real-world utility. These funds will help support new ventures and entities laser-focused on increasing network adoption among retail and institutional participants, jumpstarting on-chain activity and Total Value Locked (TVL), and supporting technological innovation.

In this hackathon, you’ll learn the capabilities of XDC and BUIDL the Future on the XDC Network. Expand your knowledge of blockchain, get a shot at some great prizes and grow your Project with the XDC Community. The XDC community wants to be part of your project - so share it on Twitter with #BuilditOnXDC and #XDC along with tagging XDC_Community.
