What rhymes with fall? More hackathons.¹ As we conclude the reign of summer and move into the hopeful beginnings of fall, Gitcoin is chugging full steam ahead into the winter with another incredible hackathon: Ethereal Blocks.



One of the premier sponsors creating some tailwinds for the hackers is AirSwap, a decentralized exchange that enables instant, easy token trading. AirSwap is secure, intuitive, and liquid, fusing impeccable user experience and bulletproof tech, users can trade the most popular Ethereum tokens directly from their favorite digital wallet and never relinquish custody of their tokens.



AirSwap joins some of the best projects in the decentralized ecosystem for Ethereal Blocks, and we’re keeping our eyes peeled while watching what the Gitcoin community builds for them. Their two bounties are open invitations to build on their platform; first, a token launcher, and second, a DeFi open invitation.

Each of their prizes will give 2,000 fresh $DAI to the champion. Get started today — the deadline to submit is September 11th at 11:59PM EST!



How to participate

You can register for the Ethereal Blocks hackathon here. To get started, join the Discord and find a team. Muhammad Ali once said, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’” We’re certain you won’t suffer, but it’s time to train.

Anyway. Once you enter our channel, take a look at the AirSwap bounties on the Issue Explorer and confer in the #airswap channel to source ideas.

If you have any questions, reach out to any Gitcoin Staff members or Gitcoin Ambassadors on Discord. We’re happy to assist with any request you might have.

Hacking, commence!
