The Chainlink Spring 2022 Hackathon, commencing on April 22nd, is an open and free event designed to foster Web3 innovation and the adoption of decentralized applications by providing developers—ranging from novices to experienced professionals—with the necessary resources to succeed. Participants can learn, collaborate, and compete in a supportive environment, accessing world-class educational resources, live workshops, and mentorship. The hackathon aims to simplify the complexities of Web3 development and equip developers with skills to build across various blockchains or layer-2 solutions, offering over $300,000 in prizes across categories such as NFTs, DeFi, and social impact. Standout projects may gain access to a VC pitch day, facilitating further growth and success. As the largest Chainlink hackathon to date, it promises to bring together thousands of creators, artists, and developers, pushing the industry forward with innovative decentralized applications.
