Cardano Hackathon and Networking | Berlin Blockchain Week
Come Build the Future With Us at Berlin Blockchain Week!
Hosted by: Cardano, Masumi, and NMKR
What's This All About?
So here's the deal - the next wave of innovation on Cardano is happening right now, and we want you to be part of it.
We're running a 24-hour hackathon during Berlin Blockchain Week that brings together people who are excited about Web3, AI, and blockchain.
The coolest part? You don't need to be a coding wizard to join us.
Seriously - come to meet interesting people, throw ideas around, join a team with complementary skills, or just check out what everyone's building. The vibe is collaborative, not competitive.

$15,000 Up for Grabs
We're putting real money behind this because we believe in what you'll create:
Cardano Track - $5,000
Got ideas for dApps that solve real problems? Want to build something that makes DeFi actually usable by normal humans? Or have a wild idea for bringing blockchain into everyday life? This track's for you.
Masumi Track - $5,000
Imagine AI agents that can work together, handle money, and prove they did what they claimed. If you're into building autonomous systems that can actually do stuff in the world without constant human babysitting, we want to see what you create.
Midnight Track - $5,000
Privacy isn't optional anymore—it's essential. Build DApps that leverage zero-knowledge proofs to protect sensitive data while unlocking Web3 use cases that were impossible before. With Midnight's Compact language, you can decide what stays hidden and what goes on-chain.
