The xDay Hackathon is a global hackathon that takes place online and lasts for 30 days in total. The hackathon ends with an optional in-person event, the Grand Finale, as part of the xDay event in Bucharest, Romania on 19th-21st of October 2023. 

However, at the conclusion of the online event, we're hosting an optional in-person grand finale in Bucharest, Romania.

While participation in the online hackathon is open for all builders worldwide, attending the in-person part of the hackathon is entirely optional.

We encourage builders to attend the Grand Finale event in Bucharest in October 2023 and we highlight the following reasons to do so:

• Opportunity to attend free-of-charge xDay, the 3-day conference organized by MultiversX using the Hacker Ticket.
• Free-of-charge entry to the xDay Hackathon VIP event on the last day of the conference.
• Access to insightful workshops, keynotes and panels on relevant topics fully dedicated to hackers.
• Opportunity to showcase your project (for winning projects) on the xDay conference stage in front of tech leaders, VCs and other industry professionals.
• Opportunity to network with builders, VCs, community members and MultiversX team members during the xDay hackathon and VIP event.

Participants can obtain free xDay Hacker Tickets by submitting their projects after a minimum of 2 weeks of development. The submitted projects are allowed to be work-in-progress. The submitted projects will be reviewed, and Hacker Tickets will be granted if they align with the event's criteria.

Yes, you are required to register for the hackathon before submitting your project. The registration deadline is October 16th, 2023. For the Future of Technology Journey, please register here. For the Gaming and Metaverse Journey please register here.

You can register for the hackathon as solo coder. However, we recommend finding other builders within the community to form a team and take your project to the next level.
