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.
