This hackathon provides a unique opportunity to pioneer applications at the intersection of EVM's developer experience and Polkadot's interoperable ecosystem. AssetHub serves as a critical component in the Polkadot ecosystem, enabling efficient management of both fungible and non-fungible assets, now with a multi-dimensional programability layer for the first ever time. Join the forefront of blockchain innovation during the landmark Hub launch! --- ## **⚙️ Technical Focus: PolkaVM & AssetHub** Participants will work with PolkaVM, allowing Solidity contracts to run natively within the Polkadot ecosystem. AssetHub provides an exquisite experience for creating, managing, and using both fungible and non-fungible assets. This powerful combination enables developers to build applications with: - Familiar Solidity development tools while exploring Polkadot's diverse ecosystem - Faster compilation times due to RISC-V register machine - Reduced Word Size and future-proofing approach - Multi-Dimensional Gas - More than 4x times the limit for the code size compared to standard EVMs (24kb vs 100kb, which can be further increased in the future) --- ## **⏳ Phases & Structure: The Journey to Villa Calangute, Goa** The hackathon follows a two-stage format designed to identify and nurture the most promising projects: **Phase 1: The Online Innovation Arena (Starts: May 30th | Duration: 1 Week)** - **Platform:** Right here on DoraHacks! - **Participation:** Open to everyone, globally! Form your teams or go solo. Maximum team size is 4. - **Challenge:** Develop innovative projects that utilize the [unique capabilities of Pallet-Revive on AssetHub](https://contracts.polkadot.io/architecture#pallet_revive). - Lifelines: [Hackathon Bible](https://hackmd.io/36hLJMfPRGWZkXXKD8IRvQ), Mini-workshops & [On-demand Mentoring](https://t.me/StudentsCollective) - **Goal:** Build a functional prototype/MVP and submit your project by the deadline. **Phase 2: The Offline Grand Finale - Goa (Exclusive | Starts: June 14th | Duration: 2 Days)** - **Qualification:** Only the **Top 12-15 teams** from the online phase will earn their spot. - **Location:** The luxurious **Villa Calangute**, Goa, India. Prepare for an inspiring and focused environment. - **Perks:** This is an **all-inclusive, fully sponsored experience** for qualifying teams. We cover your stay and food! (The attendees will need to manage their travel to/from the location.) - **Experience:** Intensive final development, mentorship opportunities, networking with peers and Polkadot experts, final project pitching, and the ultimate winner announcement in a stunning setting. This is where connections are forged and legends are made! --- ## **🏆 Prize Pool & Rewards** The Polkadot AssetHub Hackathon offers a competitive prize structure to recognise outstanding contributions: ## **Final Round Prizes:** - 🥇 **1st Place**: 1500 USD - 🥈 **2nd Place**: 1000 USD - 🥉 **3rd Place**: 500 USD --- ### **📅 Key Dates:** - **Hackathon Registration Period:** May 3rd - May 29th - **Online Phase Starts:** May 30th - **Online Phase Submissions Due:** June 6th - **Online (Eliminator) Phase Winners {Top 12-15} Announced:** June 7th - **In-person Phase @ Goa (Exclusive):** June 14th - June 16th --- # Eliminator Round Livestreams - Opening Ceremony: [https://x.com/Edgetributors/status/1928490377465446685](https://x.com/Edgetributors/status/1928490377465446685) - Mini-workshop - Solidity to PolkaVM Decoded: [https://x.com/Edgetributors/status/1929553065922990472](https://x.com/Edgetributors/status/1929553065922990472) - Mini-workshop - Web3 from a Frontend Perspective: [https://x.com/Edgetributors/status/1929885105352519705](https://x.com/Edgetributors/status/1929885105352519705)
