Flare, XRPL Commons and EasyA Bring 36-Hour Cross-Chain Hackathon to Harvard on Sept. 20–21

Organizers aim to showcase XRPL–Flare composability to expand developer adoption from EasyA’s #60DaysOfFlare pipeline.

Overview

  • The event is scheduled for September 20–21 at Harvard and is expected to draw about 200 developers competing for a $35,000 prize pool.
  • Teams will compete across three tracks covering cross-chain finance and real-world assets, interoperable dApps and infrastructure, and consumer-focused applications.
  • Workshops led by Flare engineers will offer hands-on sessions on programmable liquidity, smart accounts, and cross-chain account abstraction.
  • Organizers position the hackathon as a practical demonstration of how XRPL’s speed and liquidity pair with Flare’s interoperability protocols and decentralized data.
  • XRPL Commons’ Odelia Torteman and Flare’s Max Luck said the collaboration is intended to enable composability and connect infrastructure with builders to drive adoption.
