ICP hackathons

The Internet Computer is a third-gen blockchain that serves as a crypto cloud, replacing traditional IT. It allows building any Web3 service or enterprise system fully on blockchain, eliminating the need for centralized cloud computing like Amazon Web Services.

ICP Chain Fusion Educate + Hackathon

ICP enables direct interoperability with all major blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and other EVMs (and soon Solana), without relying on any trusted intermediary. Unique compared to other blockchains, ICP smart contracts can read from and write to different chains, enabling developers to write smart contracts spanning different chains. This is chain fusion!
