Committed to growing into the next generation of blockchain financial infrastructure, CSC is characterized with full compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, high efficiency, negligible gas fees, and permission-less staking for being a validator.

The prize pool of the CSC Hackathon Grants is totaled up to $300,000. To be specific, $100,000 will be distributed to participating teams, and the rest $200,000 will be granted from hackathon judges to project teams winning the most votes.
