Hackathon Kickoff & Summit
summary
700 hackers from 72 countries join HackFS 2023 to build on IPFS, Filecoin and an FVM-compatible EVM stack with partners like Saturn, Push, nft.storage, libp2p and Buckleya. Teams of up to five must start projects from scratch that use Filecoin/IPFS or related tooling; submissions due June 18 noon ET require a required four-minute demo video. Judging runs two rounds (prototype review then seven-minute live demos), and sponsors split $150,000 in prizes across protocol-specific categories.
