EtherRock, an NFT artwork series of rock pictures seemingly good for nothing, was sold for a whopping 400 ETH. And CryptoPunk, a collection of unremarkable pixelated avatars, fetched a turnover of as high as $86 million in a single day.

The NFT craze may sound incredible, but blockchain technology and DeFi make all the impossible possible. DeFi projects emerged one after another, showing a growth spurt in technology development. Various innovative concepts and star projects are surging, such as metaverse, GameFi, SocialFi, etc. In addition to Ethereum, many other public chain ecosystems have joined the market, offering quality service with low costs and high performance. The boom has attracted numerous developers and users to the blockchain market, creating infinite possibilities and opportunities for the sustainable development of DeFi technology.

However, the prosperity in public chain ecosystems is interdependent on high-quality projects. For this reason, ViaBTC Capital and CoinEx Smart Chain (CSC) will jointly organize the first CSC Global Hackathon Grants. The event aims to fund excellent development teams, support high-quality projects, strengthen the CSC ecosystem construction, and inject new vitality into the overall DeFi ecosystem.

With technical guidance and funding assistance, ViaBTC Capital will support the sustainable development of high-quality projects.

As a veteran in the DeFi industry, ViaBTC Group has deeply engaged in ecosystem construction for many years. The group launched the world’s first decentralized transaction (DEX) public chain in 2019 and released its upgraded version, the CSC mainnet, in June this year, which has been running steadily for nearly three months. With the company’s rich experience and technical maturity in the blockchain ecosystem, CSC has delivered a strong performance ahead of market expectations since day one: fast, low-cost, and easy to use, it provides a broad stage for both experienced teams and industry novices to develop various DeFi applications on the chain. By doing so, it expands and strengthens its own ecosystem and makes itself more efficient and complete.

In addition to CSC’s excellent performance and infrastructure, the applied projects are also blessed with ViaBTC Capital’s additional support for the long-term development on the chain.

Newly established in early August, ViaBTC Capital has a clear intention to focus on investment in Web 3.0, Layer2, and DApps that combine DeFi, NFT, or DAO elements. It offers a full range of services, including funds, market promotion, and technical guidance to boost the steady development of the entire crypto industry.

The Global Hackathon Grants sponsored by ViaBTC Capital is not only a testament to the platform’s determination and power for action, but also an opportunity for ViaBTC Capital to identify excellent developers and potential projects worldwide. In this way, ViaBTC Capital plans to exert its utmost effort to boost and support the projects and to tackle issues such as the lack of resources that hinder the growth of high-quality projects.

With technical guidance and funding assistance, ViaBTC Group will also provide various forms of support within its ecosystem to create a developer-friendly environment that can catalyze mature technology from high-quality projects.

Massive Rewards and Multiple Investment Opportunities

Sponsored by ViaBTC Capital, the hackathon offers a prize pool of up to $300,000 to attract and fund excellent development teams. Furthermore, in addition to the CSC Foundation’s strategic investment fund, ViaBTC Capital has raised seed funds to ensure high-quality projects’ long-term and sustainable development and operation.

As earlier announced, ViaBTC Capital has formed strategic cooperation and an investment alliance with well-known investment institutions in the crypto industry. In this event, it will make full use of its connections and form a jury of senior experts from prestigious foundations, who will provide the applicants with the most forward-looking, constructive opinions as well as potential investment resources and exposure to top venture capitals. It is fair to say that ViaBTC Capital has spared no effort to provide high-quality projects and teams with more potential investment opportunities in this hackathon.

Apart from the funds, the CSC technical team will also provide full support for on-chain development, and each applied project will receive comprehensive publicity and development support from ViaBTC Group to ensure exposure and attention. Also, high-quality projects will have their coins listed on CoinEx Exchange for free.

The hackathon is open to developers from different segments and categories within the DeFi community, with the hope of attracting more developers to build different DeFi applications within the CSC ecosystem.

Registration for the event will start on September 15, and the project submission ends on December 10. The competition will last for three months, providing developers with more time and opportunities to fully realize every innovative idea.
