Another buidl season is upon us! The Vite ecosystem has exploded ever since we hosted our first hackathon back in June of last year. Hackathons are a great reminder of how far we have come and how great Vite’s potential is.
This buidl season is very different from all previous ones because we have just released a new version of Vite’s programming language — Solidity++ 0.8.0. We also have published a plethora of new developer resources, all of which will make it much easier for Solidity developers to build on the Vite network.
From day one, we have been excited about Vite’s unique zero-fee structure, fast transaction speed, scalability, and security. It is a network that really stands out from the rest of layer1 chains with smart contract capability. Given our progress in making Vite more developer-friendly, we are excited more than ever about its endless possibilities.
We are thankful for the vuilders (Vite builders) that have shown us their creativity and dedication to excellence. This hackathon is another chance for us to meet and bring new vuilders to our ecosystem. Our message this time is clear and simple — Vuild!

FAQs
How do I participate in the hackathon?
Go to Grants Round 13 Hackathon and log in with your GitHub account to participate.
How is the Vite chain different from chains like Ethereum and do I need to learn a different computer language to participate in the hackathon?
In terms of smart contract programming, Vite is very similar to Ethereum. The biggest difference is Solidity++ (Vite’s smart contract language) which is asynchronous compared to Solidity. You should have no problem fitting in if you are a skilled Solidity developer. However, to reduce the possible learning time, it is highly recommended you read through the technical documentation before the event.
What are the developer environment requirements?
The environment is not limited. Mac + VS Code is recommended but you can use any programming environment and IDEs you are familiar with. If you are writing smart contracts, we provide a Soliditypp VS Code extension which can be found in the Extension marketplace to help you debug/deploy the contract.
Where are Vite’s technical documents?
All technical documents can be found here.
Do I need to give a demo for the product that I have built?
Yes. It is a requirement.
I have some technical questions to ask the Vite devs, where can I interact with them directly?
You can go to our official Discord and post your questions in the hackathon channel.
