OneHacks is a 48-hour online hackathon open to all high school students from June 10th to June 12th all over the world. Since our own experience with hackathons, we've decided to spread this same opportunity to other high school students interested in software design. Our mission is to provide aspiring coders more opportunities for software and career development, so you can take your projects to the next level and lead a more innovative future. We hope that by hosting a virtual hackathon, we can expose you to the deeper levels of technology, opening a new path for your STEM-related careers.

If you are experienced, or a complete beginner, we encourage you to join! You can take up to 3 other friends with you and join as a team. There will be many workshops and speakers for anyone to learn more about computer science. This field can be for everyone; it requires passionate students to be creative and think outside the box.

Best Use of DeSo

DeSo is the official Web3 sponsor of the MLH Hackathon League and the first Layer 1 blockchain custom-built for decentralized social media applications. While blockchains like Avalanche or Solana cost $0.50+ to store just a 200-character post, the DeSo blockchain is built with custom indexing and storage optimizations which make it 10,000X cheaper to store social content on-chain! In order to qualify for the contest, you must launch an app that writes to the DeSo blockchain and/or implements DeSo identity. While social media apps are a great fit for DeSo, you can also build financial apps, marketplaces, and more on the DeSo blockchain. For inspiration on project ideas, you can check out some of the existing 200+ apps already live on DeSo at Bithunt.com as well as our DeSo APIs. The Best Use of DeSo gets $100 worth of $DESO coin & an exclusive DeSo branded tumbler!

Prize: $100 worth of $DESO coin, an exclusive DeSo Tumbler & a Yubikey secuity key
