About.

U-Hackathon runs inside Flow Summit, a two-day summit on the future of finance and the future of community. You get a hall of your own, 24 hours on the clock, mentors on the floor. Get the best out of your allocated time. Then you demo on the stage.

The format: Hack → Mentor→ Present → Judge

  • 🛠️ Hack: Build starts Thursday 11:30, right after the opening ceremony, and ends Friday 14:00. Keep it tight. The hall closes at 18:00 on Thursday and reopens at 10:00 on Friday.
  • 🎓 Mentor: Product, engineering and design mentors hold office hours on Thursday from 13:00 to 18:00. Make the most of your slot, and expect people walking the room looking mildly concerned about your architecture.
  • 🎤 Present: Finalists are announced Friday at 17:05. The top 3 teams per track demo live on stage Friday at 20:00.
  • 🗳️ Judge: Judges pick six finalists on merit, the top 3 per track. Then the U-Center DAO Community votes live to choose the grand prize. Awards ceremony Friday at 22:00.

🤖 Bring your AI squad

Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, whatever agent stack you've quietly assembled. All fair game, on both tracks. There is no "Did you write this by hand" inquisition. It's 2026. Ship something good. Solving meaningful problem is the way.
