Today, we're excited to unwrap another opportunity for crypto enthusiasts, economists, social scientists, and writers to compete for $1,000 in prizes in the #ethereum writing contest.

Sponsored by DeGate, the #ethereum writing contest invites participants to discuss Ethereum’s pole position in global finance.

You can approach the contest from three main angles:

For the Crypto Natives
-Discuss why Ethereum is considered a leader in achieving the balance of decentralization, scalability, and security.
- Explore how Layer 2 solutions enhance Ethereum's scalability while maintaining trustlessness.

For the Economists
- Analyze how Ethereum's decentralized and trustless nature forms the backbone of a - new global financial system.
- Reflect on the evolution of financial systems and how Ethereum offers a more resilient alternative.

For the Social Scientists
- Examine how a decentralized finance system, where individuals control their assets, influences governance, power structures, and individual freedoms.
- Consider how the concept of trust is redefined in the finance arena, transitioning from trust-based to trustless systems, and the potential societal benefits and challenges.

Good luck,
The HackerNoon Team.
