From the early days of the internet to the rise of modern web apps the world keeps changing fast. Today we stand at the edge of Web3 and artificial intelligence shaping how people build and share ideas. Hackathons have always played a big role in this journey. They bring builders together and push technology forward through real work.
Now Walrus Haulout Global Hackathon 2025 is officially live. This event welcomes developers who are curious about Web3 data and storage. The tools the support and the rewards are ready. All that is missing is your idea.
Walrus is the strong base behind this hackathon. It is a decentralized storage and data system built for large files. It allows people to store unstructured content at low cost while keeping data safe and always available. Even if some nodes fail or face attacks the data can still be accessed.
Walrus breaks data into many small parts and spreads them across the network. This design keeps the system strong and reliable. Developers can easily use Walrus through simple tools like command line interfaces software kits and web access. Smart contracts help check that stored data is valid and available for the right time.
Walrus also works across many blockchains. It supports builders from different ecosystems and helps them create new ideas around data use value and sharing. The goal is simple. Let data move freely safely and with trust while creating real value.
This hackathon is the first big step into that new world. It is a chance to test ideas learn by building and maybe create something that matters.
The event runs from November six to November sixteen in twenty twenty five. During this time teams and solo builders can design and submit their projects. The total reward pool is more than one hundred thousand dollars.
There are four main tracks. Each track focuses on a different idea. One track is about data markets where builders can create ways to own price and trade data. Another track focuses on artificial intelligence and data working together to build smarter apps systems and games. The third track looks at proof and trust such as verifying media sources and building prediction tools. The final track focuses on privacy and safety using tools that protect users and their data.
Each track rewards the top three projects with strong cash prizes. There are also extra awards for great technical work.
Joining is simple. Builders register create their project and submit it before the deadline. Both teams and solo developers are welcome. Extra community support is also available. Learning videos discussion groups and live sessions help builders at every step.
Walrus Haulout 2025 is more than a contest. It is a place to learn share and build with others who care about the future of data and Web3. If you enjoy building and solving problems this is your moment.
