BUIDL on Glitch Hack 2023: The Details
Registrations are now open for BUIDL on Glitch Hack 2023, a two-month-long, Web3 hackathon featuring DeFi-based problem statements tailored for developers of all skill levels.
Let’s dive into the problem statements that will drive the BUIDL on Glitch Hack 2023:
Decentralized Yield Farming Protocol
DeFi yield farming has opened up new ways to earn but can be complicated and a high barrier to entry. Build a decentralized yield farming protocol on GLITCH using the GLCH coin that is user-friendly and maximizes returns for the users.
Rewards:
1st Place: $2,000
2nd Place: $1,000
Decentralized Lending Protocol
Traditional lending platforms are slow and difficult to engage with, while DeFi lending protocols experience high costs and a complex user experience. Build a decentralized lending money market protocol on GLITCH that enables lending, borrowing, and earning opportunities with a seamless user experience, high efficiency and robust security.
Rewards:
1st Place: $2,000
2nd Place: $1,000
Enhancing User Experience for DeFi Applications on Glitch
DeFi offers a range of financial opportunities but suffers from poor user experience and complex interfaces. Build a user-friendly interface, intuitive dashboard or mobile application on GLITCH, which significantly enhances the overall user experience when interacting with DeFi applications.
Rewards:
1st Place: $2,000
2nd Place: $1,000
Open Innovation Track
