Kickoff
summary
Welcome and platform note: the event runs on Discord and the hacker dashboard, hacking opens now with 1500 hackers across 83 countries, submissions due Oct 26 at noon ET, and every project requires a 4-minute demo. Rules require new-from-scratch work (forks allowed but no prior projects), two judging tracks (finalist = two rounds with an asynchronous review then a live Zoom demo 12:00–14:30 ET; partner-only = async partner reviews), weekly check-ins, and over $100,000 in partner prizes.
