Saga Multiverse Hackathon
The first Saga hackathon — six weeks, six tracks, generative AI and games, with three demo days judged by investors and studios and the whole programme streamed live.
Numbers

- Winners
- $50,000+
- Prize poolacross six tracks
Six weeks, May 3rd to June 20th, run on DoraHacks and co-sponsored by Spheron Network, with Scenario.com putting up $10,000 in credits for the generative-AI track.
The part I would build again is the demo days. Three of them, each judged by a different pair of outside firms — Samsung Next and Maven 11, LongHash and Merit Circle, Chorus One and Com2uS. Teams did not present into a void and wait six weeks for a verdict; they presented to investors and studios who could actually do something about what they saw, and the rest of the ecosystem watched it live on YouTube and Binance Live.
That is the whole trick with a hackathon. The prize pool gets people to register. What gets them to finish is knowing who is going to be in the room when they demo.
Workshops ran alongside — Saga's own chainlet training, plus sessions from Spheron, Scenario and LYNC — so that a team arriving with an idea and no platform experience could close the gap in week one rather than quietly dropping out in week three.

Opening ceremony. Streamed, like every workshop and demo day after it.
