​Goodbye Gas Fees! 🔥

​Get ready to build on the future of decentralized applications! The "Code Hive" hackathon is here, inviting all Web3 developers to create innovative dapps on the fast and feeless Hive blockchain ♦️

​What's Hive? 🤔

​Hive is a decentralized, open-source blockchain designed for Web3 applications and social media. It's built on a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, which allows for lightning-fast transaction times and zero transaction fees.
Hive's architecture makes it an ideal platform for dapps that require high-speed interactions and seamless user experiences, such as social media platforms, interactive games, and content-based applications.

​Hackathon Tracks 🚀

​Whether you're an AI-assisted trailblazer or a from-scratch purist, we have a track for you. Choose your challenge and compete for the ultimate prize pool!

• ​Vibe Coders (Coding with AI): This track is for those who embrace the power of AI to accelerate their development process. Use your favorite AI tools and unleash your creativity to build groundbreaking dapps on Hive.

• ​Precision Coders (Building from Scratch): For the builders who love to get their hands dirty, this track is all about creating something truly unique from the ground up.
  
  Both tracks would be jugged separately i.e. Different Winners in both Tracks.
  Vibe Coders won't be cross questioned whereas Precision coders would be cross questioned.
  Precision Coders will enjoy a Bigger Prize Pool!

​Bonus Points: 🤫

​Integrate VSC Chain while deploying your dapp. VSC is a unique cross chain Layer 2 protocol with a heavy emphasis on connecting real users with all of Crypto. From seamless wallet support, users can interact with any blockchain, and any token, all from one place.
