A fully on-chain hackathon hosted on the Internet Computer Protocol where participants can build applications using Neutron, a decentralized coordination platform. Open to hackers, judges, and sponsors who want to contribute to or evaluate projects that enhance cooperation, project visibility, and user experience on ICP. Participants must register via the provided link and can build locally without cost; judges are selected based on proven developer or community involvement. Registration remains open for at least 3 days from the post date, after which the season starts and registrations close.

Eligibility: Open to hackers, judges, and sponsors; hackers can participate for free by running Neutron locally; judges must be proven developers, entrepreneurs, influencers, or governors with verifiable handles.

The ![:hammer\_and\_wrench:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/hammer_and_wrench.png?v=15 ":hammer_and_wrench:") **HaCKaThON** ![:hammer\_and\_wrench:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/hammer_and_wrench.png?v=15 ":hammer_and_wrench:") registrations are open.

I’ll make this short:

The first step is to **register** here → [https://4576f-3aaaa-aaaam-ajgpq-cai.icp0.io](https://4576f-3aaaa-aaaam-ajgpq-cai.icp0.io)

Once the season starts, registrations close for all roles. The registration window will remain open for a minimum of 3 days from now.

If you want to judge, sponsor, or be a hacker, pick your roles. Our moderators will approve judges who are proven developers, entrepreneurs, influencers, or governors and have been around for a while. If you’re applying to judge, write it here or DM and include your handle so we can verify your application.

Judges can be hackers too, but they can’t vote for themselves.

Only once the season starts and is sealed can sponsors lock in rewards.

Hackers can participate without spending anything - just run Neutron locally and create an app.

We will be sponsors as well to get things going, but the most important thing here is **what we are building**. If you think this is “infu’s project,” you haven’t checked the documentation or the license. We’re trying to build a **place** that’s owned by you all and helps us organize while providing a better UX.

**Decentralization doesn’t mean disorganization.**

Neutron is what we propose building to help us cooperate, give projects visibility, and bring in users.

**You join this hackathon to become legends!**

Side effect: When you start building apps for Neutron, you’ll discover many new ways to use the amazing Internet Computer Protocol technology that DFINITY has built!

It’s a fully on-chain hackathon protocol that seals itself — becoming its own sole controller — when the season starts.
