We’re excited to announce our participation in the STRIKE Virtual Lightning Hackathon, hosted by RADAR ION.
This hackathon is a great opportunity for Lightning Network developers worldwide to compete and create useful tools for Bitcoiners. Entrants will be eligible to win over $5000 worth of prizes, including an additional bounty bonus prize from Bitrefill!
The $500 “Circular Economy” Bonus Prize
Bitrefill will provide both Justing Camarena, our Lightning Lead, and John Carvalho, our CCO, to help judge the STRIKE entries and choose one project as the winner for our $500 (paid in BTC) Circular Economy bonus prize.
At Bitrefill, we believe that Lightning Network technologies are integral to building out a parallel economy for Bitcoin and we want to encourage developers to create tools that enable everyone to live on crypto, better, faster, and freer.
Be creative, be useful, be reckless.
Build something that contributes to Bitcoin’s circular economy, and your project could win this $500 bounty from Bitrefill!
In addition to the standard tools, we’ll give special attention to people being #reckless by using tech like turbo channels, LNURL, fat channels, and other Lightning “hacks.”
Wield the hammer of Thor
You will also have access to Bitrefill’s Thor API, allowing you to integrate channels, turbo channels, and recharges. Contestants can request a Thor API key by emailing justin@bitrefill.com

Additional Prize Terms from Bitrefill:
Bitrefill’s “Circular Economy” Bonus Bounty of $500 will be paid in Bitcoin after a winner is chosen. The amount of BTC will be determined by the market price at the time the transaction is sent. This prize falls under all rules provided within STRIKE’s Hackathon Rules. Bitrefill may choose or disqualify any entry or entrant for any reason, or choose not to attribute the award.
