Welcome to the inaugural Cross-Chain Summer Hackathon, brought to you by Chainflip, in collaboration with THORChain and Maya Protocol. The hackathon aims to bring together experienced builders and innovators to create practical applications and tools that enhance the cross-chain ecosystem. We welcome developers with experience in blockchain, smart contracts, and cross-chain technologies. This hackathon is your playground to create new solutions to enhance the cross-chain space using resources and expertise from our partners.

Our mission is to overtake the CEXes, with countless opportunities for building supportive infrastructure. Get ready to innovate and transform the cross-chain ecosystem!

What is the Cross-Chain Summer Hackathon?

As core drivers in the cross-chain ecosystem, Chainflip, THORChain and Maya are unlocking native, composable, and efficient ways to move assets across different chains. By eliminating friction, bridge-related risks, and liquidity fragmentation, we've built innovative solutions powered by Substrate and Cosmos architectures.

Over the next month, we invite builders to explore our SDKs, learn about the latest innovations in cross-chain technology, and develop creative solutions and use cases. Join us to make meaningful strides in the cross-chain space with the combined power of Chainflip, THORChain, and Maya Protocol!

Submission Requirements

Each entry should focus on one specific use case or the general challenge.
Submit a detailed design report that adheres to the specified technical requirements for each track. Make sure your report thoroughly explains how your design meets the objectives and performance standards of the use case. Your entry should showcase careful planning and precision, highlighting your engineering expertise and proficiency.
You are expected to include links to additional detailed reports (e.g., GitHub repository, Google Doc, or Google Drive folder). Judges will be voting based on the documents, links, etc. that is submitted, so projects that submit as much relevant information as possible will stand a higher chance of success.

About the Organisers

Chainflip

Chainflip is a cross-chain protocol that leverages threshold signature schemes, an independent blockchain, and a purpose-built AMM using just-in-time liquidity to facilitate native cross-chain swaps called the JIT AMM. Chainflip grants users access to native assets without the need for bridging or wrapping assets with low slippage, low fees and high capital efficiency. The Chainflip protocol maximizes capital efficiency to enable trades at extremely competitive prices with low slippage, through a decentralized and permissionless network.

THORChain

THORChain is a network that facilitates native asset settlement between Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Cosmos Hub, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash & Litecoin. It is secured by its native token, RUNE, which deterministically accrues value as more assets are deposited into the network. Anyone can use THORChain to swap native assets between any supported chains or deposit their assets to earn yield from swaps.

Maya Protocol

Maya Protocol is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) similar to Uniswap but stands out by utilizing cross-chain liquidity without the security risks associated with wrapping assets and bridging. It manages its funds directly in on-chain vaults and ensures their security through economic measures. For enhanced security, Maya employs the Tendermint consensus engine, Cosmos-SDK state machine, and GG20 Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS).
