One of the most comprehensive events of the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem, the hackathon organized by Internet Computer (ICP) within the scope of Devconnect week held in Istanbul this year, attracted great attention and received awards worth thousands of dollars.
Cross-Chain Hacker’s Den, a hackathon dedicated to pushing the boundaries of Internet Computer (ICP) and cross-chain possibilities, was well attended. The event was held in Masterpiece Maslak as part of the Devconnect week held in Istanbul this year. Participants had a day filled with knowledge, innovation and the chance to win exciting prizes at the event, which turned into a vibrant technology hub.
The Cross-Chain Hacker’s Den served as an all-day playground for tech enthusiasts. At the event, developers came together to collaborate, share ideas and ignite innovation. From coding marathons to knowledge sharing sessions, Cross-Chain Hacker’s Den has been a haven for tech enthusiasts and the Web3 community.
The program, expertly prepared by the ecosystem founders, showed participants the basic aspects of developing on IC, covering topics such as creating fully on-chain dApps, coding smart contracts on Bitcoin, and developing cross-chain dApps.
During the whiteboard session at the beginning of the event, attendees shared their aspirations, including learning more about Web3, exploring Internet Computer technologies, connecting with like-minded individuals, building teams, and developing dApps on ICP.
In his speech, Dominic Williams, founder and chief scientist of DFINITY, emphasized the main features and advantages of ICP. Following Williams’ speech, participants were tasked with developing a fully on-chain dApp, with four different paths and sample ideas provided to fuel their creativity.
xChain dApps ($12k prize pool)
Cross-chain dApps to be developed with Internet Computer.
dApps developed entirely on-chain ($8k prize pool)
dApps created entirely on-chain using Internet Computer.
- SocialFi apps: Social interactions on chains show that users have control of their own data. You can host websites on ICP and interact directly with the browser. On top of that, ICP offers the smoothest user onboarding experience. No wallet required.
- DAO tools: ICP has the ability to host the entire governance process for on-chain DAOs. Show what you can do to help DAOs thrive.
- Privacy focused apps: Blockchains are not the best option for data privacy in general. vetKeys on ICP helps users create dApps that can protect their privacy.
- RWA DeFi protocols: With https outcalls, ICP smart contracts can stream data from the real world to the chain. Projects that tokenize new assets and move them on-chain are sought.
Creating smart contracts written in Solidty on ICP using Bitfinity EVM (3 thousand dollars prize pool)
Bitfinity is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) implemented as a smart contract on the Internet Computer Protocol. It helps scale the Ethereum ecosystem for developers to run their applications on an Ethereum-compatible, high-throughput, scalable future-proof platform with low transaction costs.
Community documentation efforts (2 thousand dollars prize pool)
Basic protocol, developing a ‘canister’ in IC and creating a community-driven documentation effort covering the benefits of IC.
The teams worked tirelessly throughout the day to demonstrate their skills and showcase their talents. At the end of the event, winners in each category were selected and grants were given to deserving teams and producers from ICP.
The event received support from leading Web3 communities and partners in Turkey such as Altcointurk, Offchain Istanbul, CryptOps Turkey. Organized by ICP.Hub Turkey with the active participation of Patika.dev, the event successfully brought together the technology community for learning, collaboration and bringing innovation to the industry.
