Agenda
What happens from Thursday to Monday
The hackathon runs across five days with workshops, office hours, weekend support, and a Monday morning submission deadline. Workshops are recorded as well, so participants in different time zones can catch up.
Kickoff + STON.fi workshop
The program begins on Thursday with the opening session and a dedicated STON.fi workshop to get everyone aligned on the stack.
Mira AI workshop
Friday continues with the Mira AI workshop so participants can explore the second integration track.
Open office hours
Participants can book a call with an expert throughout the day on Friday to unblock setup, product ideas, and technical questions early.
Build with continued support
Participants spend the weekend building online with continued support, so they can keep moving even after the live sessions end.
Submission deadline
Everyone should arrive at the weekend prepared with tools, accounts, and setup complete, then submit their finished project by 9:00 AM CET on Monday.
Demo day
Participants can present their project on Monday, but presenting is not mandatory. Winners are judged based on their submission, not on the demo day presentation itself.

FAQ
FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about who the hackathon is for, how submissions work, and what to expect.
What is the STON.fi Vibe Coding Hackathon?
The STON.fi Vibe Coding Hackathon is a build-focused program for founders, developers, designers, and operators creating new products, tools, and experiences around the STON.fi ecosystem.
Who is this hackathon for?
It is designed for ambitious individual builders and small teams who can turn a strong idea into a credible product. Technical depth matters, but clarity of execution matters just as much.
Can I improve an existing idea or product?
Yes, you can continue exploring a market or problem space you already know, but the submitted product itself should be new. The key requirement is that the project under consideration for prizes is new work.
Can one participant bring a few people and work as a team under one seat?
Yes. One registered participant can act as the primary point of contact while collaborating with a small team on a single coordinated submission.
How will projects be judged?
Projects will be judged based on the submission itself, not on demo day attendance. Demo day is not mandatory if the timing does not work for your schedule, and the winners will already be decided just before demo day begins.
What is needed for submission?
Each submission should include:
- Project name
- One-liner
- Short description
- AI tools used
- Integrations used
- GitHub repo
- Live product URL
- Loom demo
Do I need to attend every live session?
No. All sessions will be recorded, so if you miss one, you can watch it later and stay up to speed.
What kinds of projects are a good fit?
The strongest projects solve a real user problem, show clear utility, and demonstrate thoughtful execution. Relevance to the STON.fi ecosystem and the quality of the product experience both matter.
Do I need a fully finished product to participate?
Not necessarily. What matters most is meaningful progress, a clear concept, and enough working proof to communicate what you built and why it matters.
