# **CrossFi Evolutions Hackathons (CEH)** CEH is a series of events organized by CrossFi Foundation, designed to attract web3 developers with a goal of: - Expanding the CrossFinance ecosystem. - Creating a community of developers, interested in creating products and services based on CrossFi Chain. - Integrating XFI native coin to new products, in order to extend its utilitarian functions and liquidity. - Increasing the number of users for the products ecosystem. - Reinforcing the credibility in blockchain technologies and decentralized finance industries.  # **Hackaton # 1 - Boost XFI Utility** Boost XFI utility - is the first online event in scope of CEH, we’re inviting everyone to participate in the shift of financial paradigm and evolve together with the CrossFi team and our partners. **Total prize pool of equivalent of $ 300 000 USD (in MPX coins) = $15,000,000 MPX** There are 3 main categories for integration with CrossFi Chain 1. DeFi 2. Infrastructure 3. GameFi & NFT # Updated Timeline - **Project Development:** September 29 - **Project Scoring:** September 30 - October 3 - **Results Announcement:** October 4 # **BOUNTY #1: Boost XFI Utility: DeFi** **Total Prize Pool for Challenge/Bounty is 7.5 Million MPX** - 1st place: 2.5 Million MPX - 2nd place: 1.75 Million MPX - 3rd place: 1 Million MPX - 4th-8th place: 450,000 MPX ### **BOUNTY DESCRIPTION** At the moment DeFi protocols are dominating the cryptocurrency market, they’re the main driver for blockchain technologies development. These protocols cause the significant increase in total value locked (TVL), which is one of the crucial criteria for evaluating a specific blockchain and its’ native coin. The DeFi sector plays a huge role in increasing the value and liquidity of XFI. ### **REQUIREMENTS** In order to participate in this category we’re suggesting the following directions: - Lending and borrowing protocols - Automated Market Makers (AMM) - Market forecasting - Collateralized Debt Positions (CDP) - Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD) - Yield aggregators - Insurance # **BOUNTY #2: Boost XFI Utility: Infrastructure** **PRIZE For Bounty #2: 4,500,000 MPX** - 1st place: 1.5 Million MPX - 2nd place: 1.050 Million MPX - 3rd place: 600,000 MPX - 4th-8th place: 270,000 MPX ### **BOUNTY DESCRIPTION** The infrastructure sector is essential for implementing and scaling the blockchain, and it significantly impacts the native coin’s liquidity. The more convenient and understandable tools are developed, the more users and developers will be attracted to CrossFi Chain. ### **REQUIREMENTS** In order to participate in this category, we’re suggesting the following directions: - Cross-chain communications - API - Indexers - Wallets - Super Nodes - MEV (maximal extractable value) Protection # **BOUNTY #3: Boost XFI Utility: GameFi and NFT** **Total Prize Pool of Bounty #3: 3,000,000 MPX** - 1st place: 1.5 Million MPX - 2nd place: 1 Million MPX - 3rd place: 500,000 MPX ### **BOUNTY DESCRIPTION** **GameFi and NFT** The GameFi market is considered to be the next step in games development and their monetization. NFTs have become a unique phenomenon and are now in a revival stage through integration into game mechanics. GameFi and NFT are a proper catalyst to increase both TVL and the number of transactions performed, which in turn provide a great push to reinforce the XFI coin’s position. ### **REQUIREMENTS** In order to participate in this category, we’re suggesting the following directions: - Games (play-to-earn, tap-to-earn, NFT game content) - NFT marketplace # **Developer Resources** Visit [here](https://docs.crossfi.org/crossfi-foundation/crossfi-evolution-hackathons) for essential tools to help you build on the CrossFi ecosystem. - [Test XFI Console](https://test.xficonsole.com/) - [Test XFI Scan](https://test.xfiscan.com/dashboard) - [CrossFi Gitbook](https://docs.crossfi.org/crossfi-chain) - [CrossFi Github](https://github.com/crossfichain/) # **Projects Scoring** Project scoring will be carried out based on the following criteria: **All of these must be complete and included to be considered**: 1.
