The Tezos DeFi Hackathon 2022: A Total Of $200,000 Prize Pool To Solve Specific Challenges

The Tezos DeFi Hackathon 2022

Hackathons are events that are organized to increase developer interest and often include free courses and mentors.

This makes hackathons a great way to start building on a certain blockchain. But also for advanced developers hackathons are a great opportunity to learn more and tap into the exclusive resources that hackathons offer.

The Tezos DeFi hackathon 2022 offers technical mentors with advanced knowledge of the Tezos blockchain and its smart contract languages.

Tezos supports the low-level language Michelson, dialects of Pascal, Python, JS, Lorentz, and even Solidity via the Sol2Ligo transpiler.

Additionally, teams will be supported by dedicated team mentors that will be able to assist in organizing and planning the work for this month-long hackathon. 

On the website https://hackathon2022.tezos.org.ua/en you’ll be able to find a basic course, advanced courses, and a complete set of Tezos documentation.
