Challenge Topics
HackAtom VI has a total prize pool worth $1 million in ATOM. This hackathon is the largest in Cosmos’ history. This prize pool is not only a testament of how far we have grown in recent years, but also highlights the importance of launching IBC (the Cosmos standard for Blockchain interoperability) and fulfilling the mission we laid out in our whitepaper.
