HomeDAO Oxford Hackathon Bounty - UK Golden Age Tour

Superteam UK, a community of builders on Solana, will support all projects & builders during and after the hackathon.

Your challenge for the ETH Oxford Hackathon is to build a blockchain solution within one of our selected emerging tech industries, then after this in-person hackathon you’ll have the opportunity to continue development on Solana with support from our UK team for submitting into the Renaissance Hackathon.

If you’re not already aware; Solana is a high-performance, open-source blockchain platform. Solana offers many innovations like no mem-pool, parallel transaction processing, compressed NFTs, etc. You can read more about Solana here.

Selected Industries:

1. DePin

2. Gaming

3. Consumer Apps

4. Defi & Payments

5. Infrastructure

6. DAOs & Communities

Focus on the innovative part of the complete solution during the course of this hackathon, and then post-hackathon work with SuperteamUK to continue building into the Solana Renaissance Hackathon by Colosseum. 

Winners of the Renaissance hackathon will also be accepted into Colosseum’s accelerator program, and have the opportunity to secure $250k in pre-seed funding for their project.

- Applications: How does your solution apply to blockchain, and utilise the innovative features of Solana
