Calling all the APAC Hackers!
Fashion's the theme this weekend. Hack the runway with your favorite hacks and smile for the paparazzi! Show off your hacks at the end of the hackathon and demo your hacks live. Whether you're building hacks to host your own fashion show or make a virtual closet, the possibilities are endless.
We'll be running mini-events, workshops, and more to keep you entertained. While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. Please build whatever you'd like and focus on having fun!
If you're from the NA/EU region, we'd love for you to join another one of our amazing hackathons which are more time-friendly for your region: SelfieHacks II
Happy Hacking, folks!

Best Web Monetization Project
Coil is all about providing better ways to access and reward the creators, publishers and platforms that you love.

Best Use of DeSo
DeSo is the official Web3 sponsor of the MLH Hackathon League and the first Layer 1 blockchain custom-built for decentralized social media applications. While blockchains like Avalanche or Solana cost $0.50+ to store just a 200-character post, the DeSo blockchain is built with custom indexing and storage optimizations which make it 10,000X cheaper to store social content on-chain! In order to qualify for the contest, you must launch an app that writes to the DeSo blockchain and/or implements DeSo identity. While social media apps are a great fit for DeSo, you can also build financial apps, marketplaces, and more on the DeSo blockchain. For inspiration on project ideas, you can check out some of the existing 200+ apps already live on DeSo at Bithunt.com as well as our DeSo APIs. The Best Use of DeSo gets $100 worth of $DESO coin & an exclusive DeSo branded tumbler!
