Participants will be able to make use of the SDF Test Anchor API to further connect user wallet to a test on/off ramp.  Users will also be able to make us of Stellar-network-related APIs like those provided by Stellarbeat.io or Stellar.expert. Further, a good example will be COINQVEST, which will help integrate with Shopify to help online merchants and e-commerce shops programmatically accept and settle payments using the new digital currencies while staying compliant.

In the Educational Hack, the challenge is to build a fun and gamified way to learn about Stellar.  The prize is worth $1K worth in XLM.

A noteworthy example is Stellar Quest where the participants compete for XLM prizes by completing the challenges using the Stellar Laboratory.

The hack system works by involving teams which consists of 1 to 6 who work on their own idea or startup or answer a technical challenge from their sponsors. Thus, there is an overall top prize pool of £5k, as well as prizes per sponsor.
