Welcome to the Building on Bitcoin Hackathon! 

A virtual hackathon where you'll build your very own smart contracts using Clarity. The hack will let you experiment and familiarize yourself with Clarity’s developer environment. 

Clarity is a programming language for writing smart contracts on the Stacks 2.0 blockchain. It supports programmatic control over digital assets. It provides native functions that make it easy for developers to create complex smart contracts while protecting users at every step. Clarity provides precise tools for enabling on-chain logic while reducing unintentional errors. 

 OFFICE HOURS:

Join us for office hours sessions on February 28th and March 2nd at 11:00am EST for one hour each with the Whitelabel team. They will hold sessions to answer any questions you have for the hackathon in the Stacks Discord Clarity Universe #office-hours channel: https://discord.gg/QHrYFqmAGC

 INSPIRATION: 

Included is a list of categories of contract types you might want to build, however this is an open-ended contest and you're free to run with your own ideas! Your submission must include at least one Clarity smart contract. The project should be open source and posted on GitHub.

Simple exchange Contracts call another Contract Delegated Voting
DAOs Fundraising Smart contract IOT - devices
Supply chain Simple Marketplace Legal Agreements
Deeds Basic Provenance Payment Splitting
Access Restriction Lottery

Remember the core benefits of blockchain technology: transparency, immutability, and security.

  • What day-to-day apps do you use that could benefit from being architected this way?
  • While learning Clarity and exploring the Stacks ecosystem, were there any utilities or smart contracts you felt were missing that you could create?
  • Are there any existing financial systems or ownership models that could be recreated trustlessly?
  • What do you want to see exist that doesn't?

When thinking of your submission, remember that it's more important to have something with a smaller scope that is complete, functional, and secure, rather than a larger idea that is incomplete or of lower quality. You can always take your submission idea and expand on it after the hackathon. Your submission will be judged on a combination of factors including uniqueness, code quality, execution, and documentation. Try to create something that is a basic version of a contract that could later be expanded to build a real tool or product.
