Codius Hackathon

What is Codius?

Codius is an implementation of smart oracles, a simple and flexible way to implement smart contracts. It makes it very easy to upload a program, whether you want it to run on one host or thousands. It also has built-in billing. That means once a program is uploaded, anyone can pay to keep it running — the author, the users and even the program itself.

The open-source project is supported by Ripple Labs and we are organizing a hackathon/workshop to familiarize people with the project and offer a chance to implement some oracles. Evan Schwartz, one of the maintainers of the project and a software developer at Ripple Labs (https://ripple.com/), will be guiding the event.
