Hyperliquid’s first-ever in-person hackathon will be held in Seoul, Korea, on September 21 to 22, 2025. This two-day event invites developers, DeFi founders, and protocol engineers to build and launch directly on Hyperliquid's high-performance blockchain for permissionless perps, programmable trading, and on-chain execution. Powered by HypeRPC, the first dedicated RPC provider for Hyperliquid, the hackathon offers the tools and support needed to ship real products to the mainnet. Check out our Hackathon site for more details, and if you're looking to join, register here as a hacker.
Why Build on Hyperliquid Blockchain?
Hyperliquid blockchain is a full execution layer optimised for speed, control, and customisation. Builders can launch markets with HIP‑3, code in Solidity via HyperEVM, and deploy fully on-chain without permission or intermediaries. CoreWriter enables market creation, Builder Codes power monetisation, and the entire stack runs on HyperCore—a fast, secure, gasless engine purpose-built for trading logic and smart contract performance.
What In It For You?
Expect more than just a hackathon. Over two immersive days, you'll gain access to:
Hands-on workshops
Dedicated infrastructure from HypeRPC
Exclusive guest judges
Swag, prizes... and more!
You’ll build fast, debug confidently, and push real products to mainnet by the end of the weekend.
Who Can Join?
You don’t need prior experience with Hyperliquid. Just bring your curiosity, a working knowledge of smart contracts, and a passion for building. A portfolio or GitHub is recommended to help us get to know your work.
Solidity developers, protocol engineers, DeFi founders, trading bot builders
Solo hackers or full teams welcome
EVM experience preferred, but not required
GitHub or project portfolio encouraged
