On August 12, 2021, the Global Chia Hackathon, organized by Sirius Labs and supported by Chia Network, officially opens for submissions. The theme of the Hackathon is Create and Build_ . This event aims to attract strong technical teams and developers to see what can be built on Chia Network.

Themes

The Chia ecosystem is continuing to grow everyday as more farmers and developers join the network. The number of global farmers is expected to reach 500,000, which is enough to establish a large number of Chia based applications. As Chialisp matures, the expansion of the Chia ecosystem becomes the priority moving forwards.

Chia adopts the unique consensus mechanism – PoST, Proof of Time and Space. PoST uses a verifiable delay function, which makes the network resistant against external attacks. By using PoST, the Chia Network has lower transaction fees, faster transaction speeds, and is more environment-friendly, making it very suitable for developing decentralized applications.

Chia is still in its very early stages and the ecosystem still has much room to grow. The future possibilities of Chia are endless.

The theme of the upcoming hackathon is Create and Build_, and the themes include but are not limited to:

• Improved Layer2
• Improved DeFi
• Improved NFTs
• GameFi
• Wallets and tools
