Many Ethereum developers do not know they can deploy their contract on Cardano through Milkomeda
We will host a virtual hackathon for individuals & companies building DeFi 2.0 and share our knowledge about Cardano & Ethereum
This is the total amount allocated to DeFi 2.0 Hackathon.
During our time at EMURGO, we reviewed many investment proposals by different companies in the DeFi space and worked with DLab (SOSV's blockchain venture studio) for investments into the DeFi ecosystem since 2018. We intend to leverage our experience in DeFi on top of the blockchain domain expertise at dcSpark & Milkomeda to host a virtual hackathon.
The funds will be used for the prize pool for the hackathon and Milkomeda will cover the other costs associated with holding the event (we will only use at most 5K from the budget for event-related expenses)
If funded, the event will take place in the first half of 2022
