IoTeX & Gitcoin: GR10 Hackathon to Fuel Web3 Development

IoTeX is proud to be a core sponsor of the Gitcoin Grants Round 10 (GR10) Hackathon, which kicks off June 16th and concludes July 7th with a total prize pool over $650K. Gitcoin is the premier destination for Web3 developers to collaborate on open-source projects, learn new technologies, and meet like-minded developers — it’s time to expose IoTeX technology to the developer universe!

To kick things off, we will host a special IoTeX x Gitcoin developer webinar on Monday, June 21 at 12pm PT with the IoTeX core dev team, where we will deliver a hands-on demo of “Building on IoTeX with Web3”. This will be the first IoTeX hackathon where developers can leverage our Web3 Babel API that was recently released in May as part of Mainnet v1.2.

IoTeX x Gitcoin Hackathon Challenges

We have prepared the following bounties to expand investment choices by adding diverse yield strategies and to acquire more users by expanding into other blockchains.

1. Power Your dApp with Real World Data (up to $2,500 USD)

Pebble Tracker is a decentralized asset tracker that converts real world phenomena into verifiable, blockchain-ready data. Create a simple dApp using our Pebble Simulator that generates sensor readings and takes specific actions based on the sensor’s values — if something happens in the real world, then trigger something to happen in the blockchain world.

2. Analytics for ioTube Cross-Chain Bridge (up to $4,000 USD)

ioTube is a decentralized cross-chain bridge that connects IoTeX to top blockchain networks like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon. Create an Analytics Dashboard with a sleek design for ioTube, showing the most relevant statistics for our cross-chain bridge (e.g., volumes, tx count, users, and much more), categorized by blockchain.

3. Port a Solidity dApp to IoTeX using Web3 (up to $9,000 USD)

IoTeX is a decentralized, scalable, and Ethereum-compatible blockchain platform. This is an open-ended competition where you can use our latest Web3 tools to port over your favorite dApp on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or any other EVM-compatible platform and deploy it on IoTeX!
