Klaytn is an EVM L1 blockchain that supports Ethereum equivalence, so building on Klaytn is pretty much the same as building on Ethereum, making Klaymakers22 a great opportunity to flex your Solidity skills while competing for over US$1M in prizes.
Registration is now open, and hackers will be able to create their buidls on Dorahacks from 29 August till 30 September. Early registrants will be able to attend virtual workshops to learn the ins and outs of building on Klaytn, get your questions answered by Klaytn’s engineers, and join briefing sessions for the sponsors’ challenges.
Additionally, the first 200 to register and submit a buidl for Klaymakers22 will also receive US$50 worth of AWS credit, kindly sponsored by AWS and Megazone Cloud!
