Coinbase Hackathon: Build Products. Not Prototypes

​Code NYC is where product-minded builders and technical founders come to launch real, usable apps — not just demos.

​We’re here for Builders shipping:

• ​Wallet-native user experiences

• ​Revenue-generating agents

• ​Frictionless onboarding and payment flows

• ​Tools that people actually use

​This is a hackathon built for early-stage startups, repeat shippers, and technical entrepreneurs who want to validate quickly and launch with conviction.

​Application & Selection

​To attend, you must submit an application and be accepted.

​We're looking for:

• ​Builders who are actively working on an app OR have a fully scoped app concept, including wireframes and/or design

• ​A clear integration plan for Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) products

• ​A well-articulated go-to-market (GTM) strategy

​⚠️ If you’re applying as a team or startup, only one application per team is required.

​We’re prioritizing applicants with product-ready apps, a strong vision, and real potential for shipping.

​How It Works

​To confirm your spot, we ask participants to stake $10 USDC upon acceptance, which is fully refunded when you check in and submit a project.

​All accepted attendees will be notified no later than August 1, 2025.

​Come build with us 💙
