Today, a few big corporations manage 90% of the world's data and IT systems, and we are supposed to trust them.
We are here to challenge that.

Come and join us for a 30-day intensive hackathon, collaborating with the brightest minds in the cloud, web3 infra, data, zero-knowledge proofs, blockchain, and AI. Together, we will innovate and construct open technologies that will reshape the world's IT infra & Data landscape for the next 10-20 years.
