# Hackathon Introduction With [the unveiling of Acki Nacki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKiVzLMqJAg) on December 2nd, 2023, [GOSH](https://gosh.sh/) has outlined its vision for a groundbreaking consensus protocol that, we believe, can solve the existing scalability and security problems within blockchain technology. Now, this vision has become a reality. The Acki Nacki TestNet is live. As part of the announcement of [Acki Nacki](https://docs.gosh.sh/acki-nacki/overview/), a new and groundbreaking blockchain architecture, **GOSH holds the Underworld Computer Hackathon**. The Hackathon will promote developing tooling, advanced features, security, and other possible improvements for Acki Nacki. We invite technology rebels, community members, developers, researchers, and scientists to push the boundaries of what is possible with Acki Naki and to earn GOSH TOKENs. # Hackathon goals and objectives ### Wallet Applications: - Develop keyless wallets that enhance security by eliminating the need for private keys; - Implement wallet connect functionality to enable seamless interaction between decentralized applications (DAPPs) and wallets; - Create hardware wallets with robust security features, including stateless transaction validation for efficient processing. ### Blockchain Infrastructure Tools: - Build tools for managing blocks, accounts, and signatures within the Acki Nacki blockchain; - Develop traffic visualization and indexing tools, aiding developers and users in understanding network activity. ### Validator Tools and Portability: - Create validator tools that facilitate validator node management, monitoring, and reporting; - Ensure compatibility by porting these tools to different platforms (e.g., operating systems, cloud providers); - Implement CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipelines for seamless updates and maintenance. ### Advanced Cryptography and Security: - Enhance Acki Nacki security tooling by integrating advanced cryptographic techniques (e.g., BLS signatures, Merkle Trees, Commit-Reveal scheme for key pairs); - Collaborate with security experts to conduct thorough audits. ### SDK and Development Tools: - Port existing SDKs (Software Development Kits) to Acki Nacki, enabling developers to build DAPPs; - Provide comprehensive documentation and examples for smooth integration; - Foster a developer-friendly ecosystem by offering development tools (e.g., code generators, debugging utilities). ### TVM SDK Bindings: - Develop TVM (TON Virtual Machine) SDK bindings for various programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Rust, etc.); - Ensure these bindings adhere to the API reference and are free from known vulnerabilities; - Demonstrate their robustness and commitment to future support through version upgrades. ### Block Explorer Enhancements, improve the Block Explorer by adding features such as: - ABI specification for decoding messages within transactions; - The ability to expand message chains from a single transaction, providing a comprehensive view; - Enhanced search capabilities and user-friendly interfaces. ### Pre-Compile TVM Instructions: - Optimize the execution of TVM instructions by pre-compiling them; - Reduce transaction processing time and enhance overall network performance. ### Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) for TIP-3 Tokens: - Research and implement ZKPs for proving ownership and transactions related to TIP-3 tokens; - Enhance privacy and scalability while maintaining security. ### Community-Beneficial Tools: - Encourage participants to propose and develop tools that benefit the Acki Nacki community; - Foster collaboration, creativity, and innovation; - Consider tools related to governance, education, or user experience. **​You can make a change! Choose one, or many combinations, of the Hackathon’s objectives.** # About Your Organization [GOSH](https://dorahacks.io/org/GOSH/hackathon) — a Decentralized Cloud to build consensus around your community.
