Previously, Celo hosted another hackathon last year under the banner of “make crypto mobile.” The hackathon was a wide hit with the participation of more than 2,300 developers. Several payment Dapps took part in the hackathon, while three of them emerged as winners.

The hackathon will focus more on stablecoin development. Consequently, it will assist developers in making stablecoins more relevant to Dapps, DeFi, and DAO in Web3. The hackathon will focus on three sets of challenges.

The first one will discuss stablecoin-based financial solutions along with the use of Celo Dollar (cUSD). The second challenge will revolve around integrating stablecoins with DAOs, crowdsourcing platforms, and decentralized charity. Last, the third challenge will address the possible linking of stablecoins with DeFi mobile solutions in Web3.

Currently, developers can register for the hackathon. This event will offer a chance for new startups to acquire funding and incubation support for their projects. Also, the list of prizes is divided into three challenge categories. There is also a grand prize and a climate change pool for participants.
