Forte Hacks: Flow's $250K hackathon for killer apps with Ali & Doodlifts

Ali Serag (DevRel) and Matt "Doodlifts" (Growth) from Flow join the Tally podcast to discuss Flow's unique multi-role node architecture, the Forte upgrade, and Forte Hacks. Flow was born from the scalability challenges that CryptoKitties exposed on Ethereum in 2017, leading Dapper Labs to build a blockchain from the ground up designed for consumer-scale applications. Unlike traditional blockchains where every node does everything, Flow splits responsibilities across specialized roles (collection, consensus, execution, verification, and access nodes), enabling massive throughput without sacrificing security or decentralization.The conversation covers Flow's impressive track record powering mainstream brands like the NBA, NFL, Disney, and Ticketmaster (with 100+ million on-chain assets), plus exciting new capabilities in the Forte upgrade including fully on-chain scheduled transactions and standardized one-line DeFi integrations. Ali and Matt also dive into the $250K Forte Hacks competition, which uniquely allows developers to submit existing projects and even AI-coded applications, running through October 31st on HackQuest.---Sign up for Forte Hacks Learn more about Flow Follow Flow on XFollow Ali on X Follow Doodlifts on X Follow Tally on XFollow Tommy on XContact Sales: tally.xyz/contact---Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or investment advice.All opinions expressed by hosts, guests, and contributors are solely their own and do not reflect the views of any affiliated organizations.While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, regulatory landscapes—especially those relating to digital assets and blockchain technology—are constantly evolving.
