Introduction to Bahamut’s Hackathon at Paris Blockchain Week 2025

The Bahamut team is excited to announce the organization of an innovative hackathon as part of Paris Blockchain Week 2025. Scheduled for April 5-6, this event promises to be a hub of creativity and innovation, featuring a substantial prize pool of $10,000. This initiative is set against the backdrop of the broader blockchain week, happening from April 8-10.

A Leap Forward: Transitioning to Proof of Stake and Activity (PoSA)

One of the key highlights during this period is Bahamut’s transition to its new consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake and Activity (PoSA), set for April 8. According to the organizers, this evolution will significantly enhance decentralization by rewarding network participants based on their actual contributions. Such advancements aim at increasing network scalability and fairness.

Unlocking Potential: Opportunities for Developers

During the hackathon, developers are invited to explore Bahamut’s L1 blockchain technology. This includes leveraging its compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) while benefiting from its decentralized reward structure. Participants can also tap into the integrated L2 blockchain known as Caucasus, designed for rapid transactions at minimal costs.
Additionally, attendees can look forward to mentorship opportunities and gain insights into accessing ecosystem grants for project development. The hands-on experience gained here will be invaluable in tackling real-world challenges presented during the event.

Paving the Way: The Future with Bahamut Foundation

The Bahamut Foundation, known for supporting Web3 innovations through its grant program, plays a pivotal role in fostering blockchain advancements that emphasize decentralization and transparency. As an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain operating on PoSA consensus, Bahamut prioritizes rewarding validators based on network activity using its native currency FTN.
Security audits by reputable firms like CERTIK and HEXENS affirm the robustness of this architecture. Among successful grant recipients is Mutuari—a decentralized lending platform built on Bahamut—highlighting how practical applications within this ecosystem underscore its real-world utility.
In summary, the upcoming hackathon during Paris Blockchain Week presents an exciting opportunity for developers worldwide. By engaging directly with cutting-edge solutions offered by Bahamut’s blockchain technology, participants stand ready not only to innovate but also shape future trends within cryptocurrency markets globally.
