Celebrating the Klaytn Champions of xHack: A Cross-Chain Hackathon

TL;DR:

  • Klaytn was a track sponsor for xHack, the cross chain hackathon by Wormhole
  • 3 buidls caught our eye, ranging from innovations in multi-chain dynamic NFTs to on-chain index fund tokens

Klaytn was honored to support xHack, Wormhole’s inaugural cross-chain hackathon, as a track sponsor! Centering around interoperability and composability, xHack brought together a vibrant community of blockchain developers, as well as teams from various leading blockchains to mentor and assist new buidlers in the Web3 space.

The hackathon was a month-long hive of activity, with over 150 innovative buidlers participating. Our talented developers were on site to offer guidance and support to Klaytn buidlers, and to share more about Klaytn’s advanced technical architecture, which enables fast operation with immediate finality and one of the lowest average transaction latencies in the industry.


While many projects held promise, 3 projects in particular caught our eye:

Champion: xAbelian
Prize: USD$5,000 in USDC

xAbelian is a multi-chain dynamic NFT platform that enables users to own and trade NFTs across multiple blockchain networks. With synchronous multi-chain state updates and high data availability, users will be able to own NFTs with dynamic metadata that is automatically updated and synchronized across all chains, providing instant proof of ownership.

As a Klaytn gamer, you’ll then be able to prove your achievements and tokens on other chains without locking and minting on other chains!

Runners-Up

#2: Mira Finance

Prize: USD$1,000 in USDC
