In the early development of the crypto industry, crypto geeks have always been exploring the foundational infrastructure of the blockchain world and the infinite possibilities of its development direction. The rise of the on-chain world after DeFi Summer has further accelerated the speed of technological updates and iterations of on-chain infrastructure, providing endless momentum for the development of the crypto industry.

To help more quality developers participate in the development of the Web3 world and promote the innovation and application of on-chain facilities, the " Boundless Hackathon @Stanford " themed hackathon is currently co-hosted by Stanford Blockchain Accelerator, Zebec Protocol, Nautilus Chain, and Rootz Lab. This exciting event encourages quality developers to engage in more innovative construction based on blockchain infrastructure.

This hackathon is open to projects built on all chains, and participants can choose from a range of exciting tracks, including DeFi, Gaming, and NFT, and collaborate with like-minded individuals to bring their visions to life. With cutting-edge tools and resources, attendees can push the limits of what is possible and make an impact on the future of the blockchain industry. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the Web3 revolution and become a Web3 builder! This hackathon will be supported by DoraHacks.

I. Organizers of Boundless Hackathon @Stanford:

Stanford Blockchain Accelerator

Stanford Blockchain Accelerator is a non-profit program run by students and alumni, part of the Stanford Blockchain Club student organization. The accelerator incubates Stanford student and alumni teams over a 5-month program, helping them build, fundraise, and launch blockchain projects. Over 90% of teams raise funds from leading funds after our program ends (with total fundraising exceeding $80 million), and more than 60% of teams launch and start generating revenue within 6 months after the program ends!

Zebec Protocol

Founded in 2021, Zebec Protocol is the world's first on-chain payroll payment product with tax functionality and the first ecological project approved to join the Visa program. Zebec has revealed the main advantages of privacy protection, high throughput, and compliance of its solution based on the Zk-Rollup payroll public chain, facilitating the integration of payroll features for more Web3 ecological applications.

Nautilus Chain

Nautilus Chain is a public chain project launched by the Zebec community, and it is the industry's first parallelized and fastest EVM Rollup Layer 3 scaling solution. As the first modular chain, storage, computation, consensus, etc., are in different modules, which means it can achieve higher scalability and expansion capabilities, further improving network throughput, security, and privacy on top of Layer 2. According to the "Triton" testnet data, during the testing period, Nautilus Chain's TPS data exceeded 2000. Nautilus uses Celestia's modular underlying layer and employs ZK Rollup technology to enhance privacy. When applications within the ecosystem want to achieve more functionality, reduce operational costs, or enhance security and gain more sovereignty, developers can choose suitable solutions from a wide range of modules, thus opting to develop DAPP-Chain, DAPP-Rollup, or DAPP-Subnet.

Rootz Lab

Rootz Lab is a research-focused venture studio dedicated to building game-changing blockchain projects. Its team is led by industry leaders with extensive experience in market operations, infrastructure technology, and investment research. The team's past portfolio includes Galxe, Zebec, Partisia Blockchain, Shardeum, Cyberconnect, and more.
