​Part Hackathon. Part Reality Show. All High Stakes.

​Welcome to The Starknet Hacker Games — a 5-day elimination-style hackathon inspired by Big Boss and Squid Game, where the pressure is real, the drama is live, and only the sharpest survive.

​Think reality TV meets high-performance Web3 building:
- 📺 Live check-ins. Public eliminations. Degen challenges. Daily pressure.
- 💻 Build fast, ship smart, and survive to reach the finale.

​This isn’t just a hackathon.
It’s a test of creativity, execution, and grit — with the entire Starknet ecosystem watching.

​But Here’s the Catch:
🚨 Only 7 teams will be selected.
That’s it. No waitlist. No second chances.

​We’re picking the top 15–20 builders from across the Web3 space to enter the arena.
Once you're in, it's all eyes on you.

- Project Ideas that we want to see be built during the hacker games.
- Solidity to Cairo examples
- Learning resources
