Hackchain – Continuous Bitcoin-Inspired CTF Competition

In plain words

Hackchain is a continuous capture-the-flag competition platform inspired by Bitcoin's mechanisms. Launched in 2016, it combines cybersecurity challenges with blockchain-like concepts, allowing participants to compete in solving security puzzles on an ongoing basis rather than through traditional timed events. The platform is designed for security enthusiasts and hackers interested in testing their skills in a persistent, competitive environment that merges cryptography and challenge-solving.
