The Arweave Full Stack Hackathon brings together builders, developers, and visionaries to create on decentralized infrastructure using Arweave, ArFleet, and AO. Plus, this is just the start. There's up to $50k USD total, which includes the potential 'follow-on' funding after this event ends. 

And yes, you can build with AI at your side, and you can build apps that work with ai.

Join us in advancing the Permaweb's mission of building a permanent, censorship-resistant web through innovative projects that reimagine data storage and computation.

Requirements

What to Build

Create fully decentralized applications using AO Computer, Arweave, ArFleet (to the greatest extent possible), and a plethora of additional parts of the stack. 

We encourage builds that focus on easy to use interfaces that have the potential to grow significantly. This can come in the form of games, memecoins, marketplaces, developer tooling, and anything you can dream up that is compelling right from the start. 

Build something great, augment it with the fully decentralized stack on Arweave, AO Computer, and ArFleet. 

In addition to the above, we highly encourage use of Protocol.land for your code repo, Ar.io for your domain name deployment, and as many protocols integrated (where it makes sense) that already exist in the ecosystem. For example, use ArDrive and Turbo for uploading, 0rbit for decentralized oracles, and much more.

Prizes

$25,000 in prizes
Top Arweave Fullstack Prize (New Build)
3 winners

This award goes to the team that has built something new starting during this hackathon in particular.

This is to be awarded to the team that clearly demonstrates a great use of the Arweave stack to the greatest extent possible, while also delivering a fantastic experience for those interacting with it.

The intention is that the award is provided to a team with high commitment, ready to continue to build and make this a full production application, development tool, or whatever the project emphasis.

Continuous build
2 winners

Reserved for those teams and projects that are continuing on from a hackathon preceding the Arweave Fullstack Hack.

This is for the overall highest rated build specifically for those that have submitted to that hackathon. You know who you are! DO NOT OPT-IN TO THIS PRIZE IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE PRECEDING HACKATHON HAPPENING ELSEWHERE.

Judging Criteria

  • Implementation ✓
    How complete and functional is the project? Does it use the Arweave Fullstack (AO, Arweave, ArFleet) to the greatest extent possible? Are other protocols in the AO/Arweave ecosystem utilized seamlessly?
  • Technical Difficulty ✚
    Is this a sound foundation technically or through design? Is it robust and offers something clearly of value through strategic tech decisions?
  • Applicability ⚡︎
    Does it align with Arweave and the AO ecosystem and create obvious or great potential value? Does it deeply integrate AO/Arweave in undeniable and interesting ways?
  • Creativity ✨
    Does it offer an innovative or unique solution to a problem? Or does it create a compelling experience that is highly shareable and inspiring?
