3 Editions · Bangkok · Denver · Argentina · AI-Powered Growth Hackathon · Expanding 2026
The only hackathon built for Web3 growth. 500+ elite marketers, builders & founders use AI to compete on your real adoption challenges — across two tracks: Growth Strategy and Vibe Coding — and hand you deployable campaigns, tools, and talent within 48 hours.
Track Record
We started as an experiment — challenging marketers to solve real growth problems in 48 hours. It worked. The Web3 Marketing Hackathon tripled in size from Bangkok to Denver, and is now expanding to two Tier-1 events in 2026.
Our 71% submission rate is more than double the industry average of 30%. These aren't passive attendees — they're CMOs, growth leads, full-stack developers, and product designers who come to build things that ship.
"Best investment ever. This hackathon gave us know-how, a viable marketing strategy, and we continued collaborating with the team that solved our bounty."
"The most important challenge was finding talented people. Not only did we find an amazing community manager — we got Caldera in front of hundreds of people."
"A well-organized event with professional Web3-native hosts. We got great participants for our bounty — looking forward to the next edition."

Who Hacks
Our participants aren't attendees collecting swag. They are senior practitioners who've done this at scale — and they come specifically to solve hard problems in 48 hours.
With a 71% submission rate (vs. 30% industry average) and 100+ participant protocols from 50+ countries, this is the most engaged growth community in Web3.
65% women, 50/50 IRL and online split, and a community that stays engaged months after the event ends.
The Root Problem
78% of Web3 companies cite "finding qualified marketers" as their top growth challenge. Skilled growth practitioners who understand decentralized ecosystems are extremely rare.
Marketing tools built for Web2 don't work for decentralized ecosystems. Traditional attribution, CRM, and content platforms weren't designed for on-chain behaviour.
Technical teams and growth teams speak completely different languages. Engineers ship products; marketers can't explain them. The gap kills momentum at launch.
AI tools exist but Web3 teams don't know how to apply them for growth at scale. Most teams are still using AI for captions — not for attribution, onboarding, or community automation.
Sponsor Benefits
Every sponsorship is built around three measurable outcomes: talent you can hire, innovation you can ship, and brand presence that compounds. These aren't promises — they're what past sponsors have measured.
Source vetted AI-native marketers and growth talent from 5,000+ community members. Test candidates on your actual use case before hiring. Sponsors average 5–10 hires per event, with time-to-hire reduced from 2 months to 2 weeks.
Receive production-ready AI tools built for your challenge — AI content engines, on-chain attribution dashboards, automated community rewards, onboarding flows that cut drop-off by 50%+. What takes months gets prototyped in 48 hours.
Stage time, press release on BeInCrypto/Bitwire, OOO Podcast feature (30K+ plays), 40–60K organic social impressions, and a case study packaged post-event. Your brand at the center — not a logo in the corner.
Limited slots available. Reach out and we'll send a custom proposal within 48 hours.
The Hackathon Format
Two parallel tracks run simultaneously — one for growth strategists, one for builders. Both use AI as a core tool, not a gimmick. Sponsors place bounties in one or both tracks. Teams compete on your real challenges.

Sponsor Reviews
Usually at events, you pay for a booth and get some temporary social recognition. This hackathon gave us know-how, a more than viable marketing strategy, and we continued collaborating with the team that solved our bounty.
Not only did we find an amazing community manager who also won the bounty, we also got Caldera in front of hundreds of people through all the pre-promo and the hackathon itself.
Professional Web3-native hosts. The hybrid format allowed for a strong turnout and made it accessible to a wide audience. We got great participants for our bounty. Vibes top-tier — looking forward to the next edition.
