Bringing SKALE to ETHDenver

Hello, everyone! After participating in a number of events in the ecosystem (ETHBerlin, ETHSF, Web3 Summit, Devcon IV) and seeing all of the cool hacks that people have been BUIDLing, we are beyond excited to see what people will BUIDL with SKALE. After months of heads-down researching, coding, and testing, we are proud to announce that ETHDenver Hackers will be able to use SKALE chains in the hackathon. SKALE will also be sponsoring several bounties.

For those not familiar, the SKALE Network helps developers scale their decentralized apps with Layer 2 smart contract execution, speedy transactions, low-costs, storage, and strong security. In a nutshell, SKALE lets you outsource the computationally expensive parts of your decentralized application to a faster and less expensive consensus layer. Couple this with SKALE’s flexible blocksize and fast finality, and you remove the classical limitations of solidity coding known to the ecosystem

SKALE lifts constraints placed on solidity code within smart contracts by allowing for greater computation ability through larger block-sizes.

SKALE mitigates cost of complex or recurring transactions through a subscription model in place of gas fees.

SKALE allows for more modularity in existing decentralized applications by allowing for the integration of decentralized BFT microservices.

SKALE integrates with existing tooling (Ex: Truffle and MetaMask) to allow for seamless integration for existing dApp developers.

SKALE provides a decentralized node network of side-chains, allowing you to circumvent latency in the overall Ethereum network.

SKALE provides secure, cost-effective on-chain storage.

Bounty and Submission Guidelines

Join the community: Join the SKALE developer community on discord for the inside track on what, when, and how you can win SKALE bounty at hackathons. We will also be discussing great use cases for Layer 2 scaling to help spark your imagination. We’ll announce specific bounty details following formal bounty announcements from the ETHDenver team on the SKALE Discord. Reserve your SKALE Chain: If you share our love of decentralization and plan on making a truly scalable decentralized application at ETHDenver, make sure to reserve your SKALE Chain! Show up to the hackathon with a chain ready to go for your team (and get a SKALE ETH Denver t-shirt reserved just for SKALE hackers). If you want to know even more about setting up a Layer 2 environment and running a SKALE chain, join our live training over webinar on Feb 6 at 11am PT which will be led by Christine Perry and Stan Kladko. Sign up here.

And if you haven’t already, make sure to apply to ETHDenver by January 31st!

See you in Denver!!
