Whether you’re a developer, designer, researcher, artist, community organizer, or general contributor, we invite you all to be part of the future.

The Theme: Growing the ecosystem

At its core, this hackathon is about building for the good of the ecosystem. Hyperliquid is for the people, so we collectively shape its future. This hackathon is for projects that are open, composable, and useful to everyone. From tooling and infrastructure to docs, content, or coordination mechanisms, the goal is to grow the pie.

The hackathon features three tracks:

1. 🛠 Public goods: Tools, libraries, and infrastructure that benefit the entire Hyperliquid community.

2. 🚀 Hyperliquid Frontier: Novel applications, extending existing protocols, and community building that grows the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

3. 🧪 Precompile + CoreWriter Exploration: Experiment with precompiles and corewriter and push the boundaries of what’s possible on Hyperliquid.

In addition to the main tracks, sponsors will be offering bounties, additional tasks and challenges with their own prize pools. More details will be announced.

Key Details

The hackathon officially kicks off on July 28th and will be hosted on TaiKai. Once live, you’ll be able to register your team, submit projects, and use TaiKai’s matchmaking feature to find and connect with other builders.

We’ll start things off with a Kickoff Call on July 28 where we’ll walk through the hackathon format, tracks, prizes, and how to get started. Follow @hl_hackathon for details on how to join the call.

Throughout the second week, we’ll host technical workshops to accelerate and level up your project. Follow @hl_hackathon for details on how to attend the workshops.

We will be using the Hyperliquid Discord as our main discussion platform for builders and projects.

Finally, the submission deadline is August 22, and winners will be announced soon after. In addition to the prize pool, winners will get access to our growth partners: a network of VCs, domain experts, and ecosystem resources that will help take your project to the next level.
