Ethereum Classic Labs Partners with Gitcoin To Enable Gitcoin Bounty Posting Using ETC

Gitcoin, a platform where you can contribute to an open-source project to get paid, and Ethereum Classic Labs (ETC) are pleased to announce that we have partnered to enable Gitcoin Bounty posting using ETC for the first time!

“This partnership is another step towards making ETC more accessible to the developer ecosystem while providing value to the Ethereum Classic community. We’re excited to work with such great partners such as Gitcoin on this integration and participate in their hackathon focused on the future of decentralized finance” said Terry Culver, CEO of ETC Labs.

Timed to Gitcoin’s DeFi Hackathon: Funding the Future happening March 16th — 30th will be the inauguration hackathon for this Ethereum Classic integration; giving developers and organizations the chance to post and solve bounties funded in ETC while building the future of decentralized finance.

“We’re thrilled to bring our suite of tools to the ETC community with native ETC support. The Ethereum Classic community and the Gitcoin community share many common values. This technical interoperability matches the already present cultural interoperability between the projects. This integration is a step forward towards Growing Open Source and creating more economic opportunity for hackers in both communities,” said Kevin Owocki, Founder and CEO of Gitcoin.

As part of this partnership, we’re rolling out a special series of bounties in the amounts of $300, $500 and $1500. If you’re a bounty hunter, then check out these bounties we’re funding for the Funding the Future Defi Hackathon.

• Share the love of Ethereum Classic $300 bounty: Design an 8"x11" letter-sized info-graphic explaining Ethereum Classic to a non-crypto audience. Then, print and distribute 100 copies of your info-graphic to people in a public place and promote your activity on social media. View the full bounty, here.
• Create a DIY Hardware Wallet using Signatory $500 bounty: Hardware wallets are a more secure method of storing private keys and signing transactions. This challenge aims to give Ethereum Stack users a DIY hardware wallet solution. Signing EVM-based transactions through a single board computer can have many uses cases including IoT.
