01The problem

Registrations are easy. Shipped projects are not.

Blockchain and AI ecosystems run hackathons to bring developers onto their chains and tools, but a registration count says little about what actually gets built, or whether it is still running a month later.

Developers had the opposite problem: they needed one place to find hackathons in their domain, team up with other developers and mentors, and show what they had shipped.

02What I built

A platform for builders, and a toolkit for organizers

  • 01

    Discovery and teams

    Hackathons across every tech domain, team formation with developers and mentors, and a public showcase for what each team ships.

  • 02

    Flinch AI

    An intelligence layer that analyses a project's codebase, repositories and commit history, reviews it with candid "healthy roast" feedback, and matches builders to teammates by the skills a team is missing.

  • 03

    Program tracking

    Organizers follow projects, deployments and ecosystem adoption, so a partner sees what their program actually produced.

  • 04

    Event ops and onboarding

    Internal tools for running programs and onboarding builders, built with Next.js, TypeScript, Go and shadcn/ui.

03The ecosystem

From one platform to a family of products

  • 01

    hobi

    A Web3 bounty platform where developers pick up technology bounties, submit solutions and earn USDC/USDT rewards.

  • 02

    FLUXOR Faucet

    A multi-chain testnet faucet that hands out TBNB and FLOW instantly, so builders can start without friction.

  • 03

    FLUXOR HQ

    The services arm: AI agents, smart contracts and apps for teams like SNEL and Ention.

04Programs

Run with the ecosystems developers build on

Partners so far: BNB Chain, Flow, U2U Network, Creditcoin, CredShields, Ludium and WEEX.

  • 01

    BNB Hack Bombay 2025

    Lead organizer and the ecosystem's point of contact: 220+ builders shipped 50+ projects in 36 hours.

  • 02

    BNB AI Hack Delhi

    Co-hosted an AI × blockchain hackathon at IIT Delhi in May 2025 with 120+ developers and 35+ teams.

  • 03

    GoWTF Hack 2025

    A month-long Web3 hackathon on Flow.

  • 04

    Autonode Summer of Code

    An open-source summer program for students.

  • 05

    FLUXOR × Endless Domains

    A May 2026 partnership bringing domain-based Web3 identity into the hackathon journey.

05What I learned

Clarity beats tech

Judging Matrix 3.0, around 80 teams came down to about 15 finalists, and what separated them wasn't the stack. It was knowing exactly what pain they were solving and why it mattered.

Most hackathon teams fail before they start building. The same is true of programs: the number that matters isn't registrations but how many teams ship something that keeps running after demo day.

06What's next

An AI assistant for organizers

Flinch AI's organizer assistant is next, so the people running a program get the same help the builders do.
