Anyone! Developers, designers, founders, policy thinkers, and creatives from anywhere in the world are welcome. The event is hybrid — remote participation is fully supported.
Yes. Participation in the DeSci Builders Hackathon is 100% free.
No. You can participate remotely from anywhere.
Both options are valid. You can register individually and either build solo or find teammates via the TAIKAI platform or telegram group.
Anything that aligns with the theme: building on-chain tools and infrastructure for biotech, longevity, and DeSci. This includes regulatory systems, health data protocols, patient access models, insurance primitives, or verification tools — plus any experimental idea that could realistically advance life sciences in a crypto-native city like Próspera.
You can use open-source libraries or frameworks, but the core of your project should be built during the hackathon period (Sep 14-21, 2025).
You’re free to build on any EVM-compatible chain, but we recommend using Base, or Solana based on our sponsor integrations.
You’ll submit via the TAIKAI platform by Sep 21 (23:59 Pacific Time). Submissions must include a live demo, a GitHub repo, and a project description.
The judges are comprised by one representative of each involved entity Infinita City, Próspera, TAIKAI, and selected sponsors/partners.
Yes — $10,000 in total prizes across multiple categories. Please check the prizes section for more info.
$LIVES (Infinita City's Currency) is the digital currency used for payments within Infinita City, covering everything from event tickets and housing to services and amenities.
It’s pegged 1:1 to the US dollar (1 $LIVES = $1 USD) and is part of Infinita’s broader vision to build a crypto-native, innovation-driven city.
The hackathon prize pool includes rewards in $LIVES, especially for participants building locally in the Próspera Zone.
