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.
Current hackathon: BUIDL Bitcoin
Due to slow speed and high fees, bitcoin transactions are still not practical. The Internet Computer offers a solution with its native Bitcoin integration and ckBTC, a multi-chain bitcoin twin. Build payment solutions with near instant finality that give access to the Internet Computer’s growing ecosystem.
