Welcome to Blockstack & the Bolt-a-thon!
Blockstack is a layer 2 developer toolkit that helps developers build scalable apps that put identity and data back in the control of users.
Bolt-a-thon is just the beginning.
Blockstack PBC offers a unique opportunity for developers who participate in the Bolt-a-thon above and beyond the chance to win $1,000 for the best app created that uses Blockstack.
Any app built with Blockstack during Bolt-a-thon that successfully registers for the App Mining program within two weeks of the event will receive an additional $500 reward.
