The term “hacking” might conjure up images of shadowy figures typing away in darkened rooms, but the truth is that hacking can be a force for good.
As part of their ongoing efforts, CodeCluster and Next Earth will be sponsoring CCTF – the largest hacker competition for crypto and blockchain hackers. This year’s event will take place in May, but players can apply until April 7th.
Crypto CTF is more than just a competition – it’s also an educational event, teaching through hacking. It is realistically designed and covers topics security engineers (cryptographers, auditors pentesters, pentesters) face daily.
Next Earth sponsors the largest metaverse project. It has more than 30K virtual landowners and over 180,000 registered users. Additionally, it facilitates 2,500+ transactions. Since its launch in Q4 202021, the platform has contributed $1 million to environmental projects.
CodeCluster is a cultural-first app and web design shop. At the start of 2019, Six conceived the vision for Crypto CTF. The first round took place at the BsidesBUD security conference. Every event has witnessed an increase in sponsors and participants since that time.
Learning through Hacking
Next Earth is determined to be the leader of metaverse development with its innovative platform. They also recognize the need for the next generation in talented developers. The metaverse will only be able to grow and become the next Internet generation if it has the support of competent developers.
To support the metaverse, a completely new infrastructure will be required. It will be necessary to create everything, from how data is stored and transmitted to how identities and assets are managed. That’s a lot of work, and it will require the skills of thousands of talented coders and developers.
Consider also the interoperability of metaverse platforms. It should be possible for users to transfer their data and assets between metaverse platforms without losing any. That’s a daunting challenge and one that calls for developers with a big-picture view.
CodeCluster’s Next Earth and Next Earth have teamed up to host the CCTF Event. This is just one of many ways they are trying to build a community of skilled metaverse developers. Sponsoring this event encourages people to acquire the necessary skills to help build the metaverse.
Previous events have dealt with topics like cryptography and blockchain, Proof of Authority security, Smart Contract security and frontrunning.
Each event brings the global metaverse one step closer towards becoming a reality.
