Arbitrum invites developers, researchers, and builders from around the world to participate in this four-week online Mini Hackathon. Whether you're exploring Rust-based smart contracts with Stylus, building on Orbit, or experimenting with new use cases on Arbitrum, this event is designed to give you the space to move fast, try bold ideas, and ship something real.

This hackathon is beginner-friendly and flexible. You can work solo or in a team, submit in any supported language, and choose a track that fits your interest. From quick prototypes to simple dApps or technical demos, every submission is welcome as long as it showcases creativity and technical insight.

✅ Submission Guidelines

Projects must be submitted via HackQuest before the deadline
GitHub repo and brief README required (demo links or screenshots encouraged)
Solo or team submissions allowed (max 4 people/team)
You can use code you've previously written, but new work should be clearly documented

🧑‍⚖️ Judging Criteria

All submissions will be judged on the following:

Technical Completeness – Is it functional? How much is implemented?
User Experience – Is the UI/UX intuitive? Is onboarding smooth?
Creativity – Is the idea fresh, clever, or uniquely applied to Arbitrum?
"Wow" Factor – Does it surprise, impress, or feel fun to use?

🌍 Who Should Join?

This mini hackathon is open to anyone interested in building with Arbitrum’s growing tech stack—students, indie hackers, researchers, protocol devs, or early-stage builders. No matter where you're based, if you have an idea and the will to build it, you're welcome.
