Welcome to the Hack4Good 2025 with ECE Paris !
As part of this hackathon, the theme is Crypto for Good. You are free to develop a project around this topic and to unleash your creativity by approaching it in an original and meaningful way.
This track encourages creating blockchain solutions for the greater good, financial inclusion, humanitarian aid, climate resilience, and supply chain transparency. Here are some project examples :
-
Financial Inclusion: payments, savings, and transfers accessible to the unbanked, even through SMS or WhatsApp, without the need for a smartphone or bank account.
-
Humanitarian Aid: transparent, traceable donation collection and aid distribution systems powered by blockchain.
-
Climate Resilience: blockchain-based climate data tracking, carbon credits, or decentralized energy projects.
-
Humanitarian Supply Chain: standardization and traceability of products like RUTF bars, from manufacturing to the child beneficiary, with verifiable proof of delivery and stablecoin funding.
A workshop will introduce you to the basics of the XRPL, including creating transactions, using MPTokens, and setting up Escrows, to help you effectively develop your project.
How to build on the XRPLedger? An overview of how it works, getting started, creating a wallet, making your first transaction, as well as concepts of Transaction, MPToken, and Escrow.
-
A link to your repository, which must be publicly accessible.
-
A short text presenting the main idea of your project: what it is about, what its objective is, and addressing the following questions:
What real-world problem does your project aim to solve? Why is it important?
How can your solution scale beyond the hackathon? Does it have the potential for broader adoption?
Specify the XRPL features used. Does your project effectively leverage XRPL’s blockchain capabilities?
Estimate the potential volume of real-world transactions your solution could generate on the XRPL.
- A link to a video or screenshots showcasing your solution.
- Build on the XRPL Testnet.
- All projects must submit transactions to the L1.
- Using a sidechain such as Xahau or the XRPL EVM Sidechain is allowed, but it may cost you a few points in the final scoring.
🚨 Make sure to submit everything on Hackathon App before Sunday at 12:00 PM! 🚨
Project evaluation will be based on four main criteria, each carrying equal weight in the final score :
- Idea (the originality of the concept)
- Implementation (the quality of the code and robustness of the architecture)
- Demo (how clearly you present your solution to the user)
- Potential (the total value transacted on-chain, the business model, and the potential to turn your project into a product)
- Florian (XRPL Commons) Technology
- Mathis (XRPL Commons) Technology
- Romain (XRPL Commons) Technology
And 8 amazing volunteers !
