Celo Africa DAO CodeJams - Mini Hackathon

This is a weekly hackathon series that focuses on educating the community, fostering creativity, and overall bringing out great projects that will enrich the ecosystem. In 2024 this series is focused on building solutions for Celo and Minipay.

As a mobile-first, EVM-compatible, carbon-negative blockchain, Celo is built for the real world. We want you to build dApps for the phone with a great user experience leveraging Celo's lightning-fast transactions, low-cost, and multi-currency gas fees.

This mini hackathon focuses on solutions for small businesses and building real-world use cases for the phone. We want you to rethink how small businesses can leverage the blockchain, e.g., incentives like gifts and rewards, operational tools like billing and accounting, and much more.
