about this event

$250,000 in prizes. Top VC speakers. Networking. What do you get when you pack a city's worth of builders into one hackathon? A Metropolis!

What is Metropolis? Metropolis is Monad's flagship six-week global hackathon, bringing builders together to design, ship, and scale the next generation of onchain applications, with over $250,000 in prizes up for grabs.

Featured Speakers: 1. Avichal Garg, Co-Founder of Electric Capital; 2. Rohin, Product Lead at Cloudflare; 3. Pankaj Bengani, CEO of Meld.

The day — a one day event where you will: 1) Network with VCs! 2) Meet other founders. 3) Listen to industry leaders. 4) Get mentor support. 5) And build a project for Metropolis, with $250,000 in prizes on the table!

The opportunity: Get direct access to top VCs and industry leaders shaping the onchain space, including Avichal Garg (Electric Capital), Rohin (Cloudflare), and Pankaj Bengani (Meld). Spend the day networking with them and learning from their experience. Beyond the $250,000 in prizes, winning teams get fast-tracked into a residency program, where they'll continue building with even deeper access to VCs.

Who should come: founders, software engineers, technical founders, and anyone who wants to ship a project onchain. What to bring: a laptop and an idea.
