# 🚀 Reactive Hackathon Welcome to the [Reactive Hackathon](https://reactive.network/hackathon), where innovation meets opportunity! This hackathon is designed for blockchain developers who are ready to push the boundaries of decentralized technology and create groundbreaking dApps using Reactive Smart Contracts. Reactive Network is at the forefront of blockchain evolution, offering a fully EVM-compatible execution layer that empowers developers to build the next wave of decentralized applications. Unlike traditional smart contracts, Reactive Smart Contracts leverage Inversion-of-Control to autonomously react to on-chain events, driving seamless interactions across multiple blockchains without user intervention. This innovation opens up new possibilities for automation, efficiency, and interconnectivity in the blockchain ecosystem. # ⚡️Why Reactive?  ## Reactive Smart Contracts Autonomously react to blockchain events, automating complex financial instruments and DeFi applications.
