Polygon Grants Hackathon

Polygon is announcing an online Hackathon supported by Dorahacks with a cumulative prize pool of $100K.

The Hackathon aims to encourage early-stage ideas across the world, to kick-start their projects with the support from the best in the industry players like Chainlink labs, HashKey Capital, Furucombo, Protocol Labs, Covalent, ParaSwap, Chainstack, Balancer Labs, Unmarshal, Pocket Network, Stardust, Deri Protocol, QiDao, Biconomy, TOPS LABS LTD, who are also sponsoring the Hackathon.

The Hackathon becomes all more exciting with the Developers Happy Hours, where the Developers can brainstorm with other developers. The workshops are organised by seasoned players like Alchemy, Tenderly, Figment , GetBlock, ND LABS, ArGoApp and Sponsors.

Polygon works with a majority of today’s blockchain-based DeFi, web 3.0 games and NFT platforms. Polygon POS Chain has more than 500+ Dapps, more than any other chain outside of Ethereum. Additionally, blue-chip Dapps such as Sushiswap and Aave provide the most requisite interoperability in the DeFi space. By and large, this boosts the mass adoption, scaling and composability of the Dapps.

Polygon has been a developer focussed full-stack scaling platform since its inception. The composability provided for the development of DeFi, NFT, Gaming and Exchange platforms is relatively one of the highest in the industry. The integration stats speak for themselves regarding the kind of composability on the platform. The Polygon Hackathon is all set to boost this growing ecosystem.
