Hackathons

July is the in-person month for builders. Six hackathons that actually kick off this month – five face-to-face, from Monad in Pune and Bogotá to ETHGlobal in Lisbon – with open applications, dates, and what each one is really about. Sorted by start date, earliest first.

June 2026 lands at the inflection point where agentic AI stops being a pitch deck phrase and starts being infrastructure. ETHGlobal debuts a Continuity Track in New York, Lisbon hosts the first major Agents vs Agents tournament inside a sold-out festival, and Google's largest agent hackathon to date splits its prize pool across six MCP partner buckets. This guide covers every open application window.

May 2026 is one of the strongest builder months of the year. In-person sprints in Miami and Prague, privacy-focused online builds, Bitcoin-native challenges, and a growing wave of agentic AI events with on-chain components — the opportunities are spread across ecosystems, time zones, and skill levels. This guide covers every open application window.
