Trustless Work participated in Casa Builders CDMX, a Stellar-hosted hackathon in Mexico focusing on financial inclusion, digital identity, and public good transparency. Their team built Pacto, a decentralized P2P stablecoin ramp using Trustless Work's programmable escrow, and won the event. The hackathon united Latin American builders, with strong Costa Rican representation.
Casa Builders CDMX, organized by the Blockchain Acceleration Foundation and Stellar, gathered builders from Latin America to tackle real-world issues like remittances, self-sovereign identity, and transparent funding for NGOs. Trustless Work's team mentored participants, ran workshops, and collaborated with Costa Rican founders from KindFi and Numo Wallet to develop Pacto—a P2P marketplace for stablecoins like CRCX (Costa Rican colón-pegged), secured by Trustless Work's escrow and dispute resolution. The event featured tracks on inclusive finance, barrier-free identity, and public good tools, with connections to Stellar Development Foundation, Stellar Give, Google Mexico, and Meta teams. Costa Rica had the largest delegation of 12 builders. Pacto functions as a decentralized Binance P2P alternative, promoting local stablecoin adoption via OTC trading. The Trustless Work team won the hackathon, highlighting Stellar's role in regional impact.
