LATAM Onchain Open Hack

LATAM Onchain Open Hack

We're proud to present the LATAM Onchain Open Hack—a global hackathon with a special focus on the LATAM community. Co-hosted by tea Protocol and La Multisig and sponsored by Base and SQD (Subsquid), we'll come together to build world-class solutions to real world problems using Web3 technologies for 4 weeks!

Whether you're a seasoned builder or just starting, this hackathon is your gateway to learning, growing, and making a real impact in the open-source and onchain ecosystem.

   Hackathon Goals

We seek to gather 100+ builders primarily from the LATAM region to build creative projects focused on NFTs, Gaming, DeFi, and Web3 infrastructure.

Join our hackathon, connect with fellow builders, learn valuable skills, and then submit your project for a chance at winning $12.5k in prizes.

   About

tea Protocol is a decentralized framework that rewards open-source developers for their software contributions through reputation and incentives, integrating with major package managers like Homebrew, PyPI, npm, and pkgx. Built on Base, it uses a native Proof of Contribution algorithm to determine rewards and allows users to stake TEA for software security and rewards.

La Multisig, founded in 2021, is more than just a Web3 Media Hub. It’s a cornerstone for the Hispanic community, providing invaluable educational content in Spanish and offering marketing services to help Web3 projects expand their presence in LATAM. Their dedication to fostering knowledge and growth in the Web3 space makes them an ideal partner for this hackathon.

Base is an Ethereum L2 with a mission to build a global onchain economy that increases innovation, creativity, and freedom. Learn more about base at base.org, connect with them on X and Warpcast, or visit their docs.

SQD (Subsquid) is a powerful data indexing and querying solution for blockchain applications. It enables developers to efficiently access and analyze blockchain data, making it easier to build complex applications. The SQD network supports a wide range of use cases, from DeFi to NFTs, offering developers the flexibility and tools they need to succeed.

Deliverables

Teams of 2-6 will work to submit a project demo, slide deck, videos, and description of what they're trying to solve and what technologies they used within their solution.
