HackerNoon's writing-based hackathon on decentralized AI. $51,750+ in prizes and $35,000 in compute credits.
HackerNoon, with sponsors Nosana, Arweave and MEXC, runs a hackathon where entrants publish a HackerNoon blog post about an idea, architecture or early progress in decentralized AI. Concept-stage ideas are accepted. Judges shortlist posts on readership and quality, then vote on the top ones. Entries can be submitted in either round, as many times as you like; round 2 runs from November 2026 to February 2027, and half the prize pool is awarded in each round. The first 500 participants receive $70 in Nosana GPU credits, and 15 winners share a further $450 for a follow-up post.
Open to developers, researchers and startups. Entrants must publish a HackerNoon post with the listed tag.
