Building On Zircuit, A Hackathon Introduction
summary
Zircuit describes a fast, cheap EVM-compatible chain with a Halo 2 ZK-EVM and AI-based sequencer security that blocks exploits; developers swap the RPC and chain ID to hit Garfield testnet, use the custom block explorer, bridge UI or contracts, and grab faucet ETH. Hackathon prizes are concrete: Best Project $3,500, Best Use of EIP-7702 account abstraction $2,000, and three Best App Idea awards at $1,500 each. Submissions need a GitHub repo, README, and verified contracts to be judged.
