Grant Description
Opportunity for USA, Canada, and International individuals, businesses, and organizations to participate in a programming competition. The purpose of the competition is to develop apps that will improve the lives of users. Winners will be eligible to receive monetary awards and marketing support.

The XRP Ledger - or XRPL - is a decentralized, permissionless, open-source blockchain that anybody can contribute to, develop on, and transact on.

The XRPL was the first blockchain to offer tokenization of assets, making it ideal for developers who want to integrate a decentralized ledger to their apps. This hackathon is open to everyone and invites you to build innovative applications that showcase the XRPL's features. With SDKs and APIs available in both testing and production environments.
