Cardano Developer Use Cases: Holiday Season Challenge

About

You are cordially invited to contribute to blockchain implementation and win prizes Good, enjoyable challenges have a way of leaving people wishing for more. So, after the success of the Cardano Summit Layer Up hackathon, we really felt in the mood to put together another hacking challenge sooner rather than later. The Cardano Foundation invites you all to a special festive season challenge. 20+ common blockchain use cases This year the Foundation created a dedicated, open-source repository to provide developers building on Cardano with practical learning materials. All entries focus on concrete blockchain applications to use in everyday scenarios. The repository includes: 21 of the most common blockchain use cases; on-chain and off-chain examples; implementations using multiple languages, tools, and frameworks; a consistent directory structure to help newcomers onboard faster. The Foundation wants to make building on Cardano easier and more straightforward for newcomers. That means less abstract theory, way more practical reference implementations. At the same time, we aim to expand community participation and encourage diverse approaches across tools and frameworks. So we created a challenge to accelerate the completion of these use cases. It’s designed to: Strengthen developer experience and onboarding The more real working examples exist, the faster newcomers learn and the easier developers can move from interest to production. Promote diverse implementations We welcome multiple languages, frameworks, and approaches. Different implementations of the same use case are not only valid but encouraged. Increase open contributions from the ecosystem The challenge gives everyone a clear path to contribute immediately as well as an incentive to do so. Increase the visibility of reference material By highlighting this repository, the challenge helps establish a long-term reference hub for developers.
