To celebrate the launch of our experimental Status API, and to help us find bugs and get valuable feedback from developers, we're hosting a week-long virtual Hackathon, with $25,000 in prizes to be won.It’s completely free to enter, and everyone is welcome to participate, wherever you may live.
A total prizepool of US$25,000 will be paid out in ether (ETH).
Status is an open source gateway to access the Ethereum Network, for Android & iOS.
With Ethereum, for the first time ever, we can create real trustless, permissionless and decentralized systems with fair access. We can do this free from authority and middemen, and help facilitate the transition to a more open, censorship resistant internet, where users are in control of their own data.
Status looks like a messenger, but it's so much more than that - it's built entirely on peer-to-peer technologies, and provides not only a medium for free trade and communication, but also a window to access decentralized applications.
Note: Most DApps are compatible with all clients: Mist, MetaMask, and Status. With web3.js on the front-end, the idea is that once you have developed your DApp for the desktop, you can deploy it on mobile with Status. It will run the same on all clients. Develop once, run everywhere.

Status API DocumentationStatus is both a Web 3.0 browser, and a messaging platform. To be eligible, whatever it is you build, just needs to work inside of Status.
