The Code Jam Theme Tracks are specific categories or themes for participants to focus on while participating in the Code Jam event. Each track represents a different area of interest or challenge that participants can choose to tackle with their projects. The three tracks mentioned are as follows:
- DeFi Track:
- Build decentralized web applications facilitating within DeFi.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| dApp Ideas | |
| DeFi Lending Protocols | A lending protocol with built-in reputation scoring, allowing borrowers with a good track record to access lower interest rates. |
| A decentralized prediction market where users can lend and borrow crypto based on the outcome of real-world events. | |
| Privacy-focused Solutions | |
| A privacy-preserving DeFi wallet that allows users to conduct transactions without revealing their identities on the blockchain. | |
| A dApp for mixing cryptocurrencies to obfuscate transaction trails and enhance user privacy. | |
| Cross-Chain Integration | |
| A dApp for swapping tokens between different blockchains with a user-friendly interface and competitive rates. | |
| A decentralized marketplace where users can buy and sell NFTs minted on various blockchains. | |
| Automated Market Makers | |
| An AMM with dynamic fees that adjust based on market volatility, ensuring optimal liquidity provision for users. | |
| An AMM specializing in specific asset classes, like real estate or art, with customized algorithms to facilitate efficient trading. | |
| Oracle Networks and Data Feeds | |
| A decentralized oracle network that aggregates data from multiple sources to ensure high accuracy and tamper-proof data feeds for smart contracts. | |
| A specialized oracle network providing real-time data on weather conditions for use in DeFi applications related to agriculture or insurance. | |
| Carbon-Neutral DeFi | |
| DeFi platform that offsets the carbon footprint. | |
| A gamified dApp that incentivizes users to adopt environmentally friendly DeFi practices through rewards and recognition systems. | |

Congrats, your officially a Celo Code Jam participant!
This section contains information about some of the key tools and resources that will help developers start building applications on Celo.
For a comprehensive list of resources and information, review Celo Docs.
- celo-composer
- Celo Composer allows you to quickly build, deploy, and iterate on decentralized applications using Celo. It provides a number of frameworks, examples, and Celo specific functionality to help you get started with your next dApp.
- ContractKit
- Javascript package of Celo blockchain utilities
- Manage connections to the Celo blockchain, accounts, send transactions, interact with smart contracts, etc.
- A set of wrappers around the core protocol smart contracts to easily connect with contracts related to governance, validators, on-chain exchange, etc.
- Includes web3.js
- Celo Ethers.js Wrapper (experimental)
- A minimal wrapper to make ethers.js compatible with the Celo network
- use-react
- The easiest way to access Celo in your React applications 🔥. react-celo is a React hook for managing access to Celo with a built-in headless modal system for connecting to your users wallet of choice.
- Now your DApp can be made available to everyone in the Celo ecosystem, from Valora users to self custodied Ledger users.
- By default react-celo is styled so that you can drop it into your application and go, however it's fully customisable so you can maintain a consistent UX throughout your application.
- DappKit
- Easily connect to the Valora wallet with your React Native mobile application
- Valora manages user account, private keys and transaction signing, so you can focus on building your dapp
- Learn more and see the code with the Dappkit truffle box
- Python SDK
- Java SDK
- iOS SDK
- Valora provides a clean, intuitive UI where users can send transactions and interact with smart contracts
- Forno
- Node access service so you can connect your dapp to the Celo blockchain without having to run node infrastructure
- ODIS
- Oblivious decentralized identity service
- Lightweight identity layer that makes it easy to send cryptocurrency to a phone number
- Blockscout block explorers
- Alfajores testnet & mainnet
- Stats.celo.org to check network activity and health
- Alfajores Testnet
- Faucet for free testnet CELO and cUSD
- Forno supports connections to alfajores
- Requires Alfajores Celo wallet for mobile device testing (please request, support@clabs.co)
- Baklava testnet for validators and testing protocol changes
- Similarities between Celo and Ethereum means you can use many of the most popular Ethereum developer tools.
- Celo supports the EVM, so tools for writing smart contracts in Solidity (or any language that compiles to EVM bytecode) are compatible with Celo
- ERC20, NFT (ERC721) and other smart contract interface standards are supported, see Celo for Ethereum Developers
- Truffle
- OpenZeppelin
- Remix
- Telegram Celo, Celo Kenya Developers
- Twitter Celo, Celo Kenya, Celo Nigeria, Celo Uganda
- Join our Discord
- Discourse Forum
We used the following Judging criteria to tally the points and award the winners of the Celo Code Jam
- Technology - Engineering skills demonstrated, and the quality code
- Design - Attention to aesthetics, interaction, and user interface
- Impact - A solution that meets a customer’s need has the potential to be a sustainable, impactful solution.
- Presentation - The clarity of written and oral presentation
- Inspiration - How much we love and are excited about the idea
Judges were asked to provide feedback on each category separately as well as give an overall score out of 100.
