About the challenge

Join us in unlocking the full potential of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) at our upcoming hackathon! The XRPL is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that is accessible to anyone who wants to contribute, develop, or transact on it. 

The XRPL was the first blockchain to offer tokenization of assets, making it ideal for developers who want to integrate a decentralized ledger to their apps. This hackathon is open to everyone and invites you to build innovative applications that showcase the XRPL's features. With SDKs and APIs available in both testing and production environments, the possibilities are endless. 

From tooling to explorers, wallets, bridges, and more - we welcome and encourage your creativity. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make your mark on the blockchain world. Pre-register now and in the meantime, be sure to check out the comprehensive documentation available at XRPL.org.
