This is a weekend payments hackathon for developers building in emerging markets. We want solutions that solve real-world payment problems—from remittances and merchant payments to stablecoin settlements and low-bandwidth mobile money. Whether you're a seasoned fintech builder or a first-time hacker, if you can turn an idea into a working demo, we want to see it.
All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC.
The total prize pool is 60 USDC.
Winners are selected based on the judging criteria below.
This hackathon is for individuals only. Team size is 1. Participants must complete KYC to claim prizes. There are no geographic restrictions, but the focus is on solutions relevant to emerging markets.
Reach the organizers on Discord or Telegram for any questions.
We are a team passionate about driving financial inclusion through technology. This hackathon is run by the Boundless platform community.
