September 24, 2024

It’s almost time for the next Ergo Platform hackathon! ErgoHacks have become a hallmark of the ecosystem, and they have played an integral role in the growth and development of the blockchain.

With the deployment of numerous dApps, lending protocols, and Rosen Bridge, Ergo is poised to offer much to the world of decentralized finance. In an effort to continue building a blockchain for everyone, the next ErgoHack will encourage developers to build new mining solutions and enhance the user experience through UI/UX.

ErgoHack IX Details

ErgoHack IX will take place from Oct. 25-31, 2024 on Ergo’s Discord.
