[01]The thesis

Hackathons are stuck in Web2.
We're rebuilding them on-chain.

× Today
With ChainHack
01

Reputation is scattered across Discord, Notion, and Google Forms and vanishes when servers shut down.

01

On-chain identity. Every commit, submission, and prize anchored to your wallet. Portable. Verifiable. Permanent.

02

Winners wait weeks for prize money. Sponsors juggle spreadsheets, wires, and tax forms across jurisdictions.

02

Smart-contract escrow releases prizes the moment voting closes. SOL, USDC, any SPL token sub-second finality.

03

A handful of judges decide outcomes behind closed doors. Community signal is an afterthought.

03

Quadratic voting. MACI-style judging. Sybil-resistant. Every signal settles transparently on Solana.

What builders & organizers say.

ChainHack is the first hackathon platform that actually understands what builders need. On-chain rep means my GitHub work finally compounds across hackathons.

We ran our Q3 grant round on ChainHack. QF settled in 30 seconds, payouts went out automatically, and we cut admin work by 80%. Hard to go back.

Sybil resistance via MACI + Civic is the killer feature. We finally trust the voting signal because we can verify it ourselves. Game changer for grants.

[10]Questions

The fine print.

We're Solana-native every prize, vote, and reputation event settles on-chain. No fiat rails, no centralized judging, no off-platform reputation. Sub-second finality and stable, sub-cent fees mean we can do things off-chain platforms structurally cannot.
