According to the company, the projects that will participate in the hackathon will need to meet certain built requirements. These include fintech integrations, social wallets with keyless security, and trustless bridges, with each of these segments having four categories.
$280,000 for each themeThe announcement also revealed that Harmony has secured $280,000 worth of prize money for each of the themes, with DappRadar, Messari, and Terra among the partners for the.
Harmony also said it will place more priority on the awards to the projects that are launched on the Harmony mainnet. The hackathon will be running for six weeks, starting from August 15 to September 30, according to the company. Registration for the hackathon has already opened.
Harmony pointed out that one of the main goals of the hackathon is to bring in more people from traditional finance that will challenge and bridge their fields with decentralized finance.
“In blockchain, finance is where we are seeing product-market fit,” Harmoney said on its official Twitter page. The company added that most of the DeFi is coming from those that did not come from traditional finance. Harmony said the aim is to expand DeFi by bringing more TradFi.
