Event Details
The hackathon will kick-off with an IRL hacker house at ETHDenver. The hacker house will be your dedicated space to begin building your concept while getting advisory and project support from the Monad team and crypto’s best builders. Upon conclusion of the in-person hacker house, the remainder of the hackathon will be conducted async / online including the judging process.
Food, drinks and anything in between will be taken care of for you to hack your heart away. In addition, you will have access to the Monad team and numerous other crypto product builders to seek advice from as you bring your idea to life. All you need is yourself, your laptop, and a burning to desire to build on the EVM without constraints.
We welcome both individual builders and teams to apply. Use our Developer Discord if you'd like to connect with other developers and form a new team before applying. If you apply solo, we'll match you with a team based on your skills and interests. Teams applying can also indicate if they're opening to adding new members.
