DeFi is currently a massively growing industry, however, for the 6B+ smartphone users, it is still unattainable. Celo is on a mission to make DeFi what it should be: mobile, accessible, and for everyone. To enable this, we need to look to Web3 development and infrastructure.

🏆 The total prize pool for the #MoFi Hackathon is $2.5M. Yes, that’s right! 2.5M! We have various tracks such as DeFi, NFT, Gaming, Infrastructure, Environment, Regions and many more. This will allow everyone to build what they love, on Celo.

For the DeFi track, we will be rewarding you and your team for building the best DeFi application or building block! The opportunities here are endless. I’d recommend diving into @ValoraApp and @Moola_Market to get started!

For the NFT, Gaming, and Creator track, this will be a chance to really put your creative skills on display! 🎨 What about utilizing @ValoraApp ’s phone verification onboarding to create a mobile game where inviting other players to the game is incentivized with a game token?

For the Green track, it’s time to use the power of blockchain to change the planet for the better. 🌳 In 1987 a bunch of school children raised enough money to preserve 18,000 hectares of rainforest. What creative ways can you think of for crowdfunding conservation efforts?

For the Infrastructure track, you will be building or updating existing decentralized web/mobile applications. 🧱 This track will be a crucial building block for the DeFi and Celo ecosystem, think WASM Light Client, Light Client Gas Estimation and SMS Providers etc.

For interoperability, you will have the ability to showcase your building skills for cross-chain applications and tooling. 🌉 You can use Optics channels to leverage the power of a multi-blockchain experience!
