Hackathons

Hackathons encourage diverse groups to hack on prototypes for new products and services
If you’re an organizer of a hackathon and want to request funding, you can apply for a Dai grant.
First Hackathon?
Hackathons are a great way to meet new and talented people, learn new skills, get access to the latest and most excellent tools, and get noticed by communities like MakerDAO.
We've prepared a guide to help you understand what to expect. It covers what you should bring and some best practices for navigating these events and integrating what you learn afterward.
Fast Track to Development Grants
Our development grants program uses hackathons to find suitable candidates to fast-track. If you're looking for a grant, taking part in a hackathon is a great way to get our attention.
Organizing a Hackathon?
If you're organizing a hackathon that involves Maker or DAI as an integral part, we might help fund it. Find out if your hackathon is eligible.
