HackFS 2021

Hello HackFS'ers

We are excited to to participate with you to build the decentralized web.

The Opportunity

Fluence provides the infrastructure and tools to enable decentralized compute in form of applications and backends on peer-to-peer networks. To this end, Fluence provides Aqua, a new-gen language to program distributed networks and services into decentralized applications.

Fluence service are comprised of Wasm IT modules that execute on Fluence peer-to-peer network nodes and these modules, for example, can be stored on IPFS and deployed to the peer-to-peer network with Aqua. See this video for a demo. Moreover, Aqua allows developers to bring peer-to-peer compute to a variety of use cases including, but not limited, IPLD and IPNS.

The Prizes

Fluence is offering prices in both the pool and named categories.

Pool Prizes:

• USD 1,000 for best use of hosting a Fluence backend on IPFS using Aqua-IPFS

• USD 1,000 for the best use Aqua to add compute capabilities to any IPFS solution, e.g., blog, web site or IPLD in general

Named Prices

• USD 2,000 for the best functional solution that brings [IPFS DAG])https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/cli/#ipfs-dag) bindings to ipfs-aqua and builds a project on that

• USD 1,000 for the best functional solution providing a performant IPNS solution with Aqua

Please note that named prices may be combined with pool prizes. Moreover, there may be opportunities to extend a project past HackFS.
