PyTeal is a programming language used to define smart contracts on the Algorand network, along with Beaker, a development environment that facilitates communication with a network, making testing and implementation of PyTeal smart contracts more accessible. Through practical exercises, you will be equipped to create and test smart contracts, enhance your understanding of the Algorand ecosystem, and gain valuable experience in blockchain development.
Solidity is an object-oriented programming language specifically created by the Ethereum Network team for constructing and designing smart contracts on blockchain platforms. It is utilized to develop smart contracts that implement business logic and generate a chain of transaction records within the blockchain system.
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) represent blockchain-based technology that enables the unique identification and certification of digital assets, such as artworks, music, or videos. Each NFT has its unique digital stamp, guaranteeing the authenticity and irreplaceability of the digital content. This technology revolutionizes the way digital artifacts are valued and traded, providing artists and creators with complete control over their digital creations.
Participants of the hackathon are free to use any blockchain technology that suits them best, not limited to the three that will be covered in the Bootcamp.
Blockchain Challenge is open for students of all study levels (undergraduate, graduate, specialist, and PhD studies) and high school students, all around the world.
