Make way for Sovrython! A $500k Gitcoin Hackathon to Ignite the Sovryn Ecosystem
Bitcoin-native DeFi is an unexplored galaxy in the blockchain universe. Take part in pioneering this new sector with us as we build the future of a borderless, digital financial operating system.
Sovryn, the leading protocol for DeFi on Bitcoin, is proud to announce Sovrython, a virtual conference and hackathon taking place from June 4th - July 18th, 2021, with $250k in bounties and $250k in post-hackathon grants for promising projects. This amounts to $500k of support for developing open-source DeFi software that integrates with the Sovryn protocol and platform. Bounties and grants will be paid out in Sovryn’s native token, $SOV.
Bitcoin is the solid foundation upon which to build the future of finance. It is transparent, incorruptible, programmable money. Innovating on Bitcoin does not mean changing Bitcoin Mainchain - it means building new layers of superpowers that extend the capabilities of Bitcoin. Sovrython is an opportunity to join other Bitcoin Mutants at the cutting edge of blockchain tech: sidechains, DeFi, Lightning Network, and Layer 2 systems.
