Excited to announce the CryptoCastle DeFi and DAO HackChallenges, a new series of hackathons focusing on decentralized finance and decentralized autonomous organizations. Sponsored by

The æternity Foundation (AF), these events invite developers worldwide to innovate in DEFI and DAO using Sophia Smart Contracts through chatbots on the æternity blockchain. The goal is to accelerate the growth of DeFi through text-based solutions, calling on skilled individuals and teams in functional programming.

:hammer_and_wrench: Technology Overview: Experience æternity’s unique Virtual Machine (FATE VM) that runs Smart Contracts at nearly zero gas fees. Contracts are crafted in Sophia, an ML dialect designed for secure smart contract creation.

Participants will deepen their knowledge of DeFi & DAOs, and enhance development skills, especially in Sophia Smart Contracts.
