Celo and Houbi Incubator Hackathon

Celo and Huobi Incubator hackathon begins on 23rd May and will last on 24th June 2022. DeFi is where the crypto hype started, and it will continue to be.

And for the last year, Celo has seen the rapid rise of Web3 and DAO tide and the creator economy in space. They wanted to see what could be built, beyond the horizons of the current reality.

Enter stablecoins, a digital currency that is pegged to a reserve asset and designed to be volatility-free. In addition, the adoption of stable coins was the turning point Celo saw that DeFi is not a financial silo and potentially anchors the real world.

Moreover, An interactive and interoperable landscape has formed. Stablecoins and DeFi need to pace up with ever-needed demand in many realms.

The Celo and Huobi hackathon, aim to bring together incredible people working on innovative solutions to not only sustain the planet but define what the Web3.0 mobile DeFi landscape will look like.

Sign up for the Celo x Huobi: Stablecoin in Web3 & Sustainability Hackathon, today.
