The next XDC Network Hackathon is live!Register for the XDC DeFi Hackathon |
The XinFin XDC Network is an enterprise-ready, open-source, hybrid blockchain for global trade and finance. XDC Network supports all EVM-compatible smart-contracts, protocols, and atomic cross-chain token transfers, which means what runs on Ethereum will run on XDC Network. The enterprise-grade XDC Network is compatible with ISO 20022 financial messaging standards and can power a wide range of novel blockchain use cases.
In this hackathon, you’ll learn the capabilities of the XinFin network and the innovative products and technologies that have been developed that make up the XinFin Network. Use this hackathon as an opportunity to expand your knowledge of blockchain and create applications that are highly efficient and trusted globally.
