What matters more than the number is how these projects came together. Builders arrived with different ideas, learned from one another, and found new use cases along the way.
Many first joined for mining. Then they started writing code, making demos, finding bugs, and helping newcomers. There were no salaries or KPIs. People simply had ideas and kept improving them.
Now we welcome builders from across the TapeOut community and beyond to bring that same momentum to X Layer through the TapeOut Genesis Transistor Hackathon.
The challenge is simple: deploy a processor through TapeOut, define the market for its transistor, and tape out at least one working circuit on it.
The three strongest deployments share $14,000. The winning transistor becomes the Ignix Genesis Transistor, with dedicated vault mechanics built around it.
