ETH Pura Vida Hackathon

We're thrilled to announce that Trustless Work is sponsoring an exciting hackathon, and we invite all developers, product designers, and blockchain enthusiasts to participate. Trustless Work is an Escrow-as-a-Service (EaaS) platform built on Stellar's Soroban smart contract framework. We provide a decentralized solution for secure, transparent, and efficient fund management, helping businesses and individuals create trust without intermediaries.

This hackathon is an opportunity to get hands-on with our technology and push the boundaries of what decentralized escrow can do. We're offering three unique tracks, each designed to inspire creativity, challenge your skills, and contribute to building a decentralized future.

Bounty 1: Best Product Using Trustless Work API

• Prize: $650 USD

• Objective: Award the most innovative, practical, and well-executed product built using the Trustless Work escrow API.

• Criteria: We are looking for solutions that can be applied to specific industries, such as real estate, freelancing, or e-commerce. Your product should demonstrate how our escrow API can simplify, secure, and add transparency to transactions, while also battle-testing the features of our platform. We are especially interested in ideas that could provide immediate value and tackle real-world problems in securing payments or establishing trust in financial transactions.

Why participate in this track? Trustless Work offers an API that abstracts away the complexity of blockchain, allowing developers to easily integrate decentralized escrow solutions into their products. By building a product for this track, you are not just competing for a prize, but also gaining the opportunity to be an early user of a technology that aims to reshape how secure transactions happen across borders and industries.

Track 3: Most Innovative Special Use Escrow Contract

• Prize: $350 USD

• Objective: Reward the creation of unique escrow mechanisms that extend Trustless Work’s core functionalities. Examples include time-based escrows, privacy-focused escrows, or cross-chain/multichain escrow solutions.

• Criteria: We want to see ideas or working prototypes that extend the capabilities of our platform by adding novel features to escrow contracts. This could mean leveraging technologies like Chainlink to create time-based escrows that release funds on specific dates, Scroll to add privacy elements that ensure sensitive transaction details remain confidential, or bridges that make Trustless Work compatible with other blockchain networks beyond Stellar.

Why participate in this track? Innovators who are willing to think outside the box will be at the forefront of reshaping escrow services. This track provides an opportunity to pioneer new types of escrow contracts and showcase how they can cater to niche requirements—like timed releases, private settlements, or interoperability across blockchains—that traditional escrow services can't accommodate.
