We're really open with the ideas, as long as you're building something awesome, you're welcome to build it here!
🏆 PRIZES: 🥇 1st: $1,000 · 🥈 2nd: $500 · 🥉 3rd: $250. Sponsor tracks: 🚀 Wasmer track: $1,000 in Wasmer credits for the best project built on the new Wasmer SDK.
🤝 SPONSORS — 🚀 WASMER: Wasmer lets you run apps and code anywhere, fast and safely sandboxed, from your laptop to the cloud to the browser. Their brand-new Wasmer SDK (launched September 1) gives AI agents a local sandbox for running code they did not write, spinning up in a fraction of a millisecond. A natural fit for anything agentic where security is the point. What they bring: everyone who builds with the Wasmer SDK gets access to Wasmer credits during the hackathon, plus $1,000 in Wasmer credits for the Wasmer track winner.
