Build DeFi & Games on Stellar: Our $12,000 KALE x Reflector Hackathon is LIVE!

[u/raphlf]

Hey everyone,

The team behind Stellar HACKS is back with our third mini-hackathon, and this one is all about building on top of live, established projects. If you're a dev looking to build on a fast, low-cost L1, this is for you.

TL;DR: We're hosting a 2-week virtual hackathon on Stellar. Build on one or both of the featured projects and compete for a $12,000 prize pool in XLM, with 10 winning spots.

The Challenge: Compose the Future on Stellar

Instead of building from scratch, your mission is to use existing projects as building blocks. This round features two very different, very cool projects:

• KALE (https://kaleonstellar.com/): A proof-of-teamwork meme token. It's not a winner-take-all system; all participants ("farmers") who contribute work share in the rewards. It’s fun, community-driven, and has generated a ton of activity on the network.
• Reflector (https://reflector.network/): The gold-standard price oracle on Stellar. It’s a DAO-governed protocol that provides crucial, real-world data on-chain (crypto prices, forex rates, etc.), making it an essential tool for any serious DeFi application.

You can build something that enhances KALE, a new DeFi tool powered by Reflector, or get creative and combine them!

Why You Should Join:

• 💰 A FAT Prize Pool: Thanks to a sponsorship from Reflector, we've got $12,000 in XLM up for grabs. We're rewarding the Top 10 submissions, so there are plenty of chances to win.
  • 1st Place: $5,000
  • 2nd Place: $2,750
  • 3rd Place: $1,750
  • (And so on, down to 10th place)
• 🛠️ Build on a Live Platform: Get hands-on experience integrating with live contracts, APIs, and SDKs that are already being used in the wild.
• 💬 Direct Support: We have a dedicated Telegram group where you can get direct help from the developers of both KALE and Reflector, plus our team. No getting stuck on a simple problem for hours.

Key Details:

• Prize Pool: $12,000 in XLM
• Submission Deadline: September 1
• Format: 100% virtual - participate from anywhere.
• Teams: Go solo or team up!
