- publish a HackerNoon article explaining your idea, architecture, experiments or results
- include at least one eligible hackathon tag
- share working code, demos and technical evidence
- publish progress updates as you build
concept-stage ideas with a clear technical direction are accepted, but working implementations and verifiable results strengthen your chances.
prize breakdown:
- $35,000 in Nosana compute credits for 500 eligible participants
- $6,750 in additional Nosana rewards for 15 winners
- $2,500 in Arweave storage credits
- $2,500 in AR prizes
- $5,000 in MEXC token rewards
- grand prize: ownership of the decentralizeai.tech domain and its open-source platform codebase
important:
- multiple entries and progress updates are allowed
- existing projects can be extended
- sponsor rewards may require specific tags and follow-up posts
- some token rewards are restricted by jurisdiction
- judging considers technical depth, originality, impact, reproducibility and quality of documentation
if you're building AI agents, decentralized infrastructure, DePIN, open-source models or verifiable AI systems, this is worth exploring.
submissions are open.
