#KyberDeFi Virtual Hackathon

6-Week online hackathon focused on practical DeFi innovation using various Ethereum technologies

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*: Hackathon has been extended to 28 October!

Kyber has participated in various Ethereum hackathons in the past year, and each time we were impressed by the quality of work produced in just 48 hours over a single weekend. An estimated 220 developers built 50+ DApps using Kyber during these weekend hackathons altogether, and many of them have become active members of the Kyber community.

Today we are excited to launch #KyberDeFi Virtual Hackathon to educate more developers around the world about Kyber Network’s liquidity protocol and token swap technology, and how they can be used to create innovative payment flows and DeFi (decentralized or open finance) products. This online hackathon will be from 9th September — 21st October, and will focus heavily on novel and practical solutions for DeFi, giving us a chance to witness greater composability between top Ethereum projects, including our Tech Partners: bZx, Chainlink, Compound, Melon, Synthetix!
