Evmos has introduced stateful precompiles called EVM Extensions, which are unique to its implementation. The ability of EVM Extensions on Evmos will unlock both blockchains and individual applications to customize and leverage the functionality of IBC and other Cosmos SDK modules. These extensions extend the EVM's capabilities beyond its original specification without compromising equivalence with Ethereum's execution layer.

With EVM Extensions, developers can create their own business logic for connecting with other smart contracts and appchains in the Cosmos ecosystem. Applications are no longer limited to a single blockchain and can make smart contract calls to IBC modules to communicate with other chains, securely send and receive assets across chains, stake EVMOS tokens, and even manage accounts on other blockchains to access any functionality built elsewhere.

Prize Pool

The prize pool (98k USDT) will break down as follow:

1st: 17k USDT
2nd: 13k USDT
3rd: 8k USDT

Key Dates of the hackathon

The idea is to have the opening ceremony around Consensus in April and allow project submission starting the next week in May for 3 weeks.

Opening Ceremony: April 24
Project Submission: April 24th to June 15th (Extended)
Workshops: Will lead two workshops (on EVM Extensions and Getting started on Evmos) - Dates TBA
Judge Voting: June 16th -June 27th
Grand Finale: June 28th

Judge Panel

All projects will be reviewed by the Core Evmos Contributors. Ecosystem partners may also help evaluate the project submissions. After the hackathon, projects can apply for our grants program. More detail on this will be provided as we get closer to the end of the hackathon.

Evmos encourages builders to utilize our ecosystem services to create applications. The partners will add additional prizes but utilizing our ecosystem partners will increase the breath of the project.
