Become a part of the story

Encode Club is running a validator for the EigenLayer ecosystem to directly fund the first dedicated EigenLayer hackathon and kickstart a series of developer events around re-staking, AVSs and EigenDA.

By restaking to our validator, you will help restake into the future of community building on EigenLayer.

Giving back to the community

The first EigenLayer dedicated hackathon is launching in May 2024. This 4-week online event will be free and open to as many developers that want to participate from anywhere in the world and include workshops, AMAs and challenges enabling developers to build their own use cases around the Eigenlayer and re-staking narrative.

To partner with us, get in touch here!

Hackathon prizes and challenges

🛠️ Build on EigenLayer and its primitives. Think re-staking, AVSs and EigenDA - the opportunities are endless.

🌟 Hackathon prizes will be funded by the rewards of Encode's validator. The more you support the validator, the more goes to funding the incentives for hackers.
