🧩 Hackathon Challenges​

We will be offering challenges to support our community goals for the next Tractus-X release in March (26.03).

🔐 Main Challenge: Tractus-X Identity Hub Wallet​

Further develop the Tractus-X Identity Hub Wallet and integrate it into the TX Umbrella.

This will allow us to:

  • ✅ Eliminate the need for a mocked wallet in the umbrella (by having a real open-source wallet)
  • 🔄 Offer an end-to-end exchange scenario for developing better applications
  • 🌐 Enhance decentralization within the Tractus-X open-source dataspace technologies

🔗 Repositories:

🏭 Secondary Challenge: Industry Core Hub Add-On​

(If time permits or with many participants)

Integrate the PCF use case (or another add-on) into the Industry Core Hub.

🎯 Goal: Enable another add-on in the Industry Core Hub and learn:

  • How the IC-Hub can serve as a base for multiple use cases
  • How to develop your own add-on module

🤝 Hosting & Support​

Our new Project Lead Mikel Garcia (from LKS Next) has volunteered to host the event at their offices in the Bilbao area 🏢.

We at the Catena-X Association are very happy to see the Eclipse Tractus-X community growing worldwide 🌎 and will be there to support these technical challenges.

And also we as project leads are happy to support and bring our community forward globally! As our main goal for 2026 as announced at our last community days in December!

Let's build dataspaces! 🚀
