Flare, EasyA, and XRPL to host a crypto hackathon

Flare, a full-stack Layer 1 (L1) solution, is joining forces with EasyA and XRPL Commons to host a 36-hour hackathon at Harvard University on September 20–21, 2025, as per the most recent info shared with Finbold on Thursday, September 3. The event will gather 200 developers and focus on Flare’s interoperability protocols and the ways XRP Ledger (XRPL) can power the next wave of decentralized finance (DeFi). With a $35,000 prize pool at stake, participants will gain hands-on cross-chain development experience across cross-chain finance and real-world assets, composable decentralized applications (dApps) and interoperable infrastructure, as well as consumer-focused apps.  In addition, Flare engineers will help participants familiarize themselves with technologies such as Flare’s FAassets, programmable liquidity, smart accounts, decentralized oracles, and XRPL-controlled accounts source: https://finbold.com/flare-easya-and-xrpl-to-host-a-crypto-hackathon/
