Elusiv Challenge: Best integration of the Elusiv SDK
Whether paying for a coffee or trading on a DEX, not every transaction needs to be public. Elusiv puts you in control - keep your transaction data private when you want to. As part of the Encode Hackathon, Elusiv sponsors 1,000 USDC for the best integration using our SDK. For access to the Elusiv SDK, please DM @julian_elusiv on Telegram / Twitter or ask in the Elusiv Discord.
