Flare, a full-stack Layer 1 blockchain solution, is partnering with EasyA and XRPL Commons to host a 36-hour hackathon at Harvard University on September 20-21, 2025, according to information shared with Finbold on Thursday, September 3. The event will bring together 200 developers to focus on Flare’s interoperability protocols and explore how XRP Ledger can drive the next generation of decentralized finance applications.
The hackathon offers a $35,000 prize pool and will provide participants with hands-on experience in cross-chain development across multiple areas, including cross-chain finance, real-world assets, composable decentralized applications, interoperable infrastructure, and consumer-focused applications. Flare engineers will assist participants in learning technologies such as Flare’s FAassets, programmable liquidity, smart accounts, decentralized oracles, and XRPL-controlled accounts.
XRPL has established recognition for its speed, liquidity, and strong tokenization support, while Flare contributes secure interoperability and decentralized data capabilities. The two platforms aim to advance developments in event-driven yield products and tokenized real-world assets. Odelia Torteman, Director of Corporate Adoption at XRPL Commons, noted that integrating Flare brings true composability, expanding XRPL’s foundation into a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem.
