About

Connext is the interoperability protocol of L2 Ethereum. Connext enables sending value and calling contracts across Ethereum-compatible chains and L2s, with plug-in support for non-Ethereum systems. Unlike other approaches, the Connext does this without weakening economic security by introducing third party validators - it instead has the same trust considerations as the underlying chain(s).

Judging Criteria

  • Creativity - Demonstrate use cases that we haven’t thought of or improve the user experience for existing flows in novel ways.
  • Quality - While hackathons are a sprint and we fully expect end results to be scrappy, we’ll give bonus points to projects that deliver with more polish.
  • Impact - Bonus points for projects that can create value for the wider ecosystem.
