About the challenge

Build on Bitcoin.

​We're gathering top-tier student developers to accelerate Bitcoin's technical frontier.

Requirements

What to Build

BTCFi: Build next-generation BTCFi applications + infrastructure that unlock Bitcoin’s potential as programmable, peer-to-peer electronic cash. Leverage Bitcoin’s $1T+ liquidity and battle-tested security to create sophisticated DeFi protocols that rival or exceed traditional DeFi capabilities.

​Bitcoin + Stablecoins: Revolutionize payments with Bitcoin-backed stablecoins. Focus on everyday finance, cross-border payments (for the underbanked), and agent-to-agent payments (e.g., “L402”), bringing Bitcoin’s “dollar layer” cross-chain.

Surprise Us! Extend Bitcoin’s technical frontier—proof-of-useful-work, PoW-native preconfirmations, etc. We also welcome experimentation at the application layer—surprise us with novel concepts that aim to hyperbitcoinize the world!
