Stacks is a Bitcoin Layer 2 network that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications to use Bitcoin as a secure base layer. The EasyA x Stacks Bitcoin Hackathon was London's first major Bitcoin-focused building event, organized in partnership with EasyA and supported by Hiro Systems. Over 350 developers gathered for the 36-hour in-person event at Protein Studios to build innovative dApps utilizing Stacks, Clarity, and sBTC. Participants competed across specialized tracks, including sBTC integration, AI, and Shark Tank-style pitches, resulting in over 50 new projects launched on the network and a distributed prize pool of $25,000 USD.

How to join Stacks - EasyA x Stacks Bitcoin Hackathon 2023 London?
To qualify for the hackathon held in London, United Kingdom, developers first needed to complete Stacks learning challenges within the EasyA mobile application, which served as a filtering mechanism to invite top performers. Selected builders then registered through official links to secure their spot for the in-person event held at Protein Studios.
During the 36-hour hackathon, attendees formed teams and participated in workshops focused on building with Clarity, sBTC, and Bitcoin dApps. Teams were required to build their projects utilizing Stacks and Hiro platforms on the Bitcoin network, with strong encouragement to integrate AI and sBTC components into their applications.
Final submissions required a short project description, a public GitHub repository link, and a Google Slides presentation. Projects were subsequently pitched live on demo day across various competitive tracks to win a share of the $25,000 prize pool via the official portal.
