Probably Nothing #110
Thanks to EthDenver, this was a slow week regarding online events, but at least we got to see our friends again. ❤
This week we have Bitcoin smart contract workshop for you, that will kick-off a hackathon. Also, Scroll on DevNTell!
📅 Upcoming Events
🛠 Building on Bitcoin Layers: Code your first DApp on Stacks
In our first workshop with Hiro, we covered the basics of Stacks and Bitcoin smart contracts.
Join Hiro's developer advocate Ryan Waits for his second Stacks workshop, where he will walk through creating a Bitcoin DApp that includes a token contract with a swap mechanism. This technical workshop will cover Clarity contracts and chainhooks, an easy way to create webhook-like triggers that react to on-chain behavior for Bitcoin and Stacks.
Afterward, participate in our two-week hackathon to build a DApp and compete for $5000 in BTC prizes. Join us on Thursday, March 7, at 5 pm UTC.
