The XDC Network, which combines the power of public and private blockchains with interoperable smart contracts, has announced it is offering an online global DeFi hackathon in cooperation with Devpost and Inac Consulting starting October 11 at 10:00 a.m. ET on Devpost, which powers most of the world's software competitions on its platform. Register now at xdc.devpost.com

The purpose of the hackathon, which continues until December 19 at 5:00 p.m. ET, is to build your dream DeFi project on XDC Network.

The XDC Network is a Layer 1 EVM (Ethereum Virtual machine) compatible network, which means what runs on Ethereum will run on XDC Network. The enterprise-grade XDC Network is compatible with ISO 20022 financial messaging standards and can power a wide range of novel blockchain use cases. Equipped with both public and private states, the XDC Network was designed to meet the needs of enterprises with concerns about information transparency and data privacy. The delegated proof-of-stake mechanism (XDPoS) by which the network reaches consensus allows for two-second transaction time, near zero gas fees. Military-grade security through 2/3 node validation. User-friendly, customizable block explorer and network statistics pages offer unprecedented transparency where required.

In this hackathon, you’ll learn the capabilities of XDC and build your dream Dex or DeFi project on the XDC Network. Expand your knowledge of blockchain, get a shot at some great prizes and grow your Project with the XDC Community. The XDC community would love to try out your project so share it on Twitter with #BuilditOnXDC, #XDC, and #WeAreXDC.
