Welcome to the second Fantom Hackathon of 2023!

This time, we’re calling on you to build a brand new project on the Fantom Mainnet Blockchain! Go from zero to a real-world working application with the help and support of the Fantom team. We can’t wait to see what you are able to do!

Fantom is a fast, low-cost, and secure smart contract platform built on a unique aBFT consensus protocol. Fantom is a Solidity & Vyper compatible chain and you can easily get started building with tools you’re already familiar with: Remix, Truffle, and MetaMask.  

Need tips on how to get started? Check out the documentation here and review the Resources tab for more info! 

Dont forget to join the Fantom Telegram and Discord builders groups!

Helpful tip: Fantom supports the EVM and you can deploy your dApps just like on Ethereum.
