Where Crypto Founders Start their Journey
Colosseum hackathons are not traditional hackathons.
They are global, online competitions where talented founders sprint over multiple weeks to
build impactful products. We run two hackathons per year, each followed by our accelerator
program.
How it works
Compete
Colosseum runs two global online hackathons per year. Teams build a product over multiple weeks and compete for prizes.

Hackathons
Five competitions, same arena
Each hackathon is a new chapter. Explore the campaigns that shaped crypto's most ambitious builders.
Interested in sponsoring the hackathon?
Top ecosystem founders, developers, and investors collaborate with Colosseum to judge and contribute to the hackathons.
