Hackathons - The Discovery Engine
Hackathons serve as the primary discovery mechanism for new projects.
Team Formation & Idea Submission: Global talent organizes around open themes, challenges, or problem statements.
AI-Assisted Prototyping: Through the AI Foundry, teams convert specifications into functional prototypes in as little as 72 hours.
Community Validation: Ideas are tested through transparent voting, traction metrics, and reputation scoring.
Hackathons act as a filter-only the most credible and innovative teams progress to incubation or launch preparation.
At the same time, Surge remains open: any project can still launch via Fairlaunch or Ignition Launch routes.
