High Performance Blockchain (HPB) to Host $15k Hackathon for DApp Developers in May
[PRESS RELEASE – Please Read Disclaimer]
High Performance Blockchain (HPB) will be hosting a hackathon on DevPost in May 2022. HPB is a layer 1, main-net, fully Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain, and is the only blockchain in the world to fuse together dedicated, custom-developed blockchain hardware with Ethereum-standard blockchain software.
HPB developed the “Blockchain Offload Engine” (BOE) accelerator card, to enable the chain to run at lightning-fast speeds (5000tps), with ultra-low-cost gas fees ($0.001 per transaction) with high-security, hardware-based encryption.
The BOE accelerator card can be thought of as a PC graphics card, only instead of processing game graphics, the BOE processes blocks on the HPB blockchain. Every node on the chain is equipped with a BOE card (190+ nodes globally)
High Performance Blockchain is fully Ethereum EVM compatible, so people familiar with Solidity, Truffle, Remix, Metamask and other well-known Ethereum tools will feel immediately at ease with the chain.
The BOE card also provides a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) on-chain from the BOE card, using micro-voltage fluctuation readings from an A2D chip on the card. These verifiable random numbers are available on-chain to HPB developers free of charge.
HPB are inviting blockchain developers to enter the DevPost HPB Hackathon competition, with $15,000 of prizes up for grabs. The Hackathon lasts for 1 month, with winners in multiple categories selected in June. To register for the hackathon, please visit
Further developer information for High Performance Blockchain (HPB) can be found on the HPB GitBook.
