TL;DR
- EigenLayer and Cartesi are hosting Experiment Week #3, a hackathon from February 10 to 16, to develop decentralized applications.
- Participants will work with Cartesi’s Co-Processor and EigenLayer’s restaking protocol to optimize performance and security on the blockchain. $
- $12,000 in CTSI and EIGEN tokens will be awarded to projects in areas such as DeFi, artificial intelligence, IoT, gaming, and social networks.
EigenLayer and Cartesi have teamed up to drive the development of decentralized applications through an exclusive hackathon that will bring together developers from the blockchain ecosystem.
The initiative aims to encourage the creation of innovative solutions in artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, and other areas where the combination of advanced computing and blockchain security can make an impact.
Event Goals
The event, called Experiment Week #3, will take place from February 10 to 16, 2025, and will provide participants with the opportunity to work with two fundamental technologies: Cartesi’s Co-Processor and EigenLayer’s restaking protocol. During this week, developers will explore new ways to optimize blockchain usage for applications that require high performance and reliable verification.
Cartesi’s Co-Processor allows smart contracts to perform complex calculations off-chain without compromising security. By integrating a Linux-compatible virtual machine, it enables the reuse of existing tools and libraries, expanding development possibilities.
EigenLayer, on the other hand, introduces a restaking model that allows staking assets to be reused to strengthen the security of new services within the Ethereum ecosystem. This combination provides a more flexible infrastructure to build sophisticated applications without relying on centralized solutions.
EigenLayer Hackathon Prizes
The hackathon will include an opening ceremony on February 10 and a demo day on February 17, where teams will present their projects. Winners will receive prizes in CTSI and EIGEN, with a total prize pool of $12,000 in these tokens. The participation categories cover decentralized finance, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, gaming, and social networks, with a focus on creating tools that improve user experience and facilitate Web3 adoption.
Beyond the event, the collaboration between EigenLayer and Cartesi aims to tackle one of blockchain’s greatest challenges: making the technology more accessible and useful in everyday life. The integration of artificial intelligence into verifiable environments opens up new possibilities in sectors such as commerce, healthcare, and financial services
