Nervos - Broaden the Spectrum

The other side of the moon

$200K in Prizes

August 4 - September 4, 2021

*Make sure to join the Nervos Discord for all hack discussions and support!*

Broaden the Spectrum is an initial one-month-long online bounties program designed to allow developers to explore and test out the key layer two tools from the Nervos Network -- Polyjuice, the Force Bridge and Godwoken.

We want to start broadening the blockchain horizons, today. All this talk of going to the moon is one thing, but the Nervos Network is looking to get to the other side of the moon -- the side that is building a workable, sustainable and powerful interoperable blockchain platform. 

The Bounties program will be held in participation with Gitcoin, which will administer the bounties. We will also host an introductory workshop where we’ll give an overview of the Nervos Network and its powerful interoperability tools designed to help build universal Applications. We'll host a hackathon with $150k in prizes from Sept 13th-Oct 1st! (Details listed below in Part 2)
