About
Etherlink is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on the Tezos blockchain. Designed with developers in mind, Etherlink combines low fees, fast finality, and institutional-grade security — making it ideal for DeFi applications and real-world use cases. Built using Tezos Smart Rollups and powered by a decentralized Data Availability Layer (DAL), Etherlink provides a scalable and efficient environment for deploying Solidity-based smart contracts using familiar tools like Hardhat, Foundry, and MetaMask. Key features include: • EVM compatibility: Deploy and interact with smart contracts using standard Ethereum tooling. • High throughput, low latency: Optimized for fast transaction finality. • Affordable gas fees: Build and scale without high operational costs. • Decentralized and upgradeable: Built on Tezos, one of the most battle-tested blockchains in production. ⸻ Why Build on Etherlink? • Performance: DeFi apps run smoothly with near-instant execution and high transaction capacity. • Trustworthy foundation: Etherlink inherits the governance and decentralization guarantees of Tezos. • Easy onboarding: Use existing Ethereum codebases, infrastructure, and developer tools. • Supportive ecosystem: Receive direct support from the Etherlink team during the hackathon and beyond. Whether you’re porting an existing DApp or launching something entirely new, Etherlink gives you a solid, future-proof base to build on.Prizes

Build a prototype that integrates Etherlink with the 1inch Fusion+ protocol, enabling token swaps via 1inch routed through Etherlink’s Layer 2 network. This can include routing logic, custom smart contracts, bridges, or price oracle adaptations needed to make Fusion+ compatible with Etherlink.
You can also explore adjacent tools or infrastructure that help facilitate cross-chain routing, asset bridging, or composability between Etherlink and Ethereum.
Qualification Requirements
To qualify for a prize, submissions must: 1. Deploy on Etherlink using Solidity (EVM-compatible) smart contracts. 2. Demonstrate how your project integrates or extends 1inch Fusion+ on Etherlink. 3. Include a clear README with instructions on: • How to run or test the code • What components were built or modified • Which 1inch protocol features were used or extended 4. Be submitted before the ETHGlobal Unite deadline and presented during judging. 5. Be original work created during the hackathon. Bonus points for: • Technical depth and practical utility • Working UI or CLI to demonstrate integration • Clear potential for future development or 1inch partnership
