When the world talks about Web3 builders, Vietnam just raised the bar.
VietBUIDL Hackathon 2025 ā organized by U2U Network and SSID ā has officially become the largest builder-focused hackathon in Southeast Asia, hitting a record high number of MVP-completed projects ever seen in the region.
This yearās event isnāt just about slides and pitch decks.
Itās about real code, real teams, real deployment.
šļø Build to Run ā Not Just to Pitch
ā¢ A 100 billion VND investment fund backed the hackathon, setting a serious tone from day one.
ā¢ Spanning from August to October 2025, the event attracted 361 teams from every continent.
ā¢ Builders competed across 3 high-impact tracks:
š°ļø DePIN ā decentralized physical infrastructure
š¤ AI & Intelligence
š User Apps ā DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, RWA
Unlike most hackathons that end with a fancy pitch, this one demanded real working products.
Out of 350+ global teams ā 260+ delivered fully functional MVPs.
A rare, standout number in the entire Southeast Asian hackathon scene.
āWe donāt want a showcase event. We want real products, real deployment, real adoption.ā
