CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE #KYBERDEFI HACKATHON WINNERS!
Read about the winners here: https://blog.kyber.network/kyberdefi-hackathon-meet-the-winners-bea5bc9ec983
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyber #DeFi Virtual Hackathon aims to educate developers about Kyber Network’s liquidity protocol and token swap technology, and how they can be used to create innovative payment flows and DeFi (decentralized or open finance) applications.
The online hackathon will focus heavily on novel and practical solutions for DeFi, and we hope to see greater composability between Ethereum projects such as bZx, Chainlink, Compound, Melon, Synthetix, the WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin) community, and many others.
With over USD $42,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, we look forward to having many interesting use cases being built!
Knowledge of Blockchain, Ethereum, and Solidity is preferred, but not a must. For any questions, please join our Hackathon Discord Chat!
If you need to buy ETH or convert ETH to ERC20 tokens, feel free to use KyberSwap.com
Tech Partners: bZx, Chainlink, Compound, Melon, Synthetix
Ecosystem Builders: BitGo, WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin), CoinGecko, dapp.com, defiprime, devfolio, #Hashed, IBC Media, KyberSwap, LinkTime (Unitimes and EthPlanet), MetaCartel, Signum Capital.
