Announcing the First #iFi Hackathon
Calling all hackers, builders, amateur network operators, autonomous machines!
From July 1 — August 30 2023, Althea will host the world’s first iFi hackathon on DoraHacks. Join us to build your new iFi dApp, user interface, service integration, or decentralized grid on Althea L1!
Over an eight-week period, you’ll have access to experts in telecom and other utility sectors and an open Althea L1 Hybrid EVM testnet to help bring your ideas to life. Showcase your projects to our partners with the opportunity to win over $30,000 in prizes. For some ideas to get you started, check out our post about building with Althea.
Register for the hackathon today!
We’ll host an AMA on Monday, June 26 at 12pm ET to answer any questions you might have about Althea, iFi, and the hackathon. RSVP via our Discord.
On July 1, we’ll kick off the Hackathon, hosting office hours every day from 3–4pm ET for the first week, and every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday thereafter.
Stay tuned to our Twitter, Discord, and the DoraHacks event for more information, announcement of judges and partners, and exciting IRL events!
What is iFi?
iFi, infrastructure finance, describes a new category of dApps, service integrations, and interfaces built to manage and fund blockchain-enabled infrastructure and utilities. Read more about what iFi entails, the new markets that it opens, and what it means for the blockchain space.
What is Althea L1?
Althea L1 is the high-availability, highly-reliable settlement layer empowering the coordination of humans and autonomous machines, infrastructures, and utilities, and the orchestration of automatic machine-to-machine micropayments — making iFi possible and opening new markets in open-access infrastructure.
