# HackFS 2021

Hello HackFS'ers

We are excited to to participate with you to build the decentralized web.


## The Opportunity

Fluence provides the infrastructure and tools to enable decentralized compute in form of applications and backends on peer-to-peer networks. To this end, Fluence provides Aqua, a new-gen language to program distributed networks and services into decentralized applications.

Fluence service are comprised of Wasm IT modules that execute on Fluence peer-to-peer network nodes and these modules, for example, can be stored on IPFS and deployed to the peer-to-peer network with Aqua. See this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FpZOjTVYiA) for a demo. Moreover, Aqua allows developers to bring peer-to-peer compute to a variety of use cases including, but not limited, IPLD and IPNS.


## The Prizes

Fluence is offering three prices in the named category:

* USD 2000 -- Best use of Fluence and IPLD
* USD 2000 -- Best use of Fluence and IPNS
* USD 2000 -- Best use of Fluence and Ceramic or Textile

Please note that there may be opportunities to extend a project past HackFS.
