Hackathon Tracks:
UTXO Indexer-Selector
This track is focused on Bitcoin fundamentals. It addresses the challenge of managing large sets of UTXOs efficiently. The goal is to build indexing, aggregation, and selection services that make Bitcoin applications faster, lighter, and more private. This track is best suited for backend developers who want to work directly with Bitcoin data structures and optimize infrastructure-level tools.
Rune-powered Midl x Xverse Solidity dApp
This track is perfect for EVM engineers looking to bring their skills into the Bitcoin ecosystem. The goal is to create a decentralized application that runs on Bitcoin regtest, integrates with Midl, and uses the Xverse wallet for transactions and signing. It’s a great opportunity for Ethereum-native developers to explore how Solidity contracts and Bitcoin infrastructure can work together.
