WELCOME TO THE XRP LEDGER HACKATHON 2021!

The XRP Ledger - or XRPL - is a decentralized, permissionless, open-source blockchain that anybody can contribute to, develop on, and transact on.

The XRP Ledger was the first blockchain to allow the tokenization of assets. Regardless of whether the assets are fiat, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or other forms of tokens, the XRP Ledger's built-in tokenization functionality and built-in decentralized exchange make it ideal for developers to add the decentralized management of tokens to their applications.

This hackathon is open to all developers to explore, discover, and build on the XRP Ledger. You can use any of the SDKs and APIs for the XRP Ledger, both in production and on testnet. 

We also encourage you to test out and use the new Hooks smart contract functionality in development by XRPL Labs. They have their own testnet you can use.

Requirements

What to build: Build (or update) software applications that interact with the XRP Ledger.

  • Bonus: Include functionality of NFT and/or Hooks into your Project to be eligible for Bonus prizes.
