From the early days of the internet to the rise of Web2 and now the move toward Web3 and artificial intelligence hackathons have always pushed technology forward. Today this journey continues as the Walrus Haulout 2025 Global Hackathon officially begins.
Walrus invites developers from around the world who are curious about Web3 data systems to take part. The platform the tools and the rewards are ready. This hackathon is an open door for builders who want to create new ideas and real products.
Walrus is the core foundation behind this event. It is a decentralized storage and data availability system built for large data files. Walrus allows users to store content at low cost while keeping it safe and available even if some parts of the network fail. This makes it reliable for real world use.
One of the key strengths of Walrus is its data design. Information is broken into smaller pieces and stored across many nodes. Even if some nodes stop working the data can still be accessed. This helps keep user content safe and always online.
Walrus works closely with modern blockchain tools. Developers can interact with data using simple tools and connect storage with smart contracts. This helps confirm that data exists and stays valid over time. Walrus also supports multiple blockchain systems which allows more developers to build without limits.
The Walrus Haulout 2025 Hackathon is designed as a large exploration of this new data world. Developers are encouraged to test ideas build products and explore new ways data can be used shared and valued.
The event runs from November sixth to November sixteenth in two thousand twenty five. During this time teams and solo builders can design and submit their projects. The total prize pool is over one hundred thousand dollars which shows strong support for innovation.
There are four main tracks in the hackathon. The first track focuses on data markets. Builders can create systems where data ownership pricing and sharing are clear and fair. The second track combines artificial intelligence with on chain data to build smarter apps and systems.
The third track focuses on proving truth. Projects can help verify where content comes from and whether it can be trusted. The fourth track is about privacy and safety. Builders can create tools that protect users and their data.
Each track offers rewards for the top three projects. There are also special prizes for strong technical work. This gives many teams a chance to win and be recognized.
To join participants need to register create an account and submit their project before the deadline. Both individual builders and teams are welcome.
The HOH community also supports this hackathon. They provide learning materials group chats live talks and extra rewards. This support helps new developers learn faster and experienced builders connect with others.
Walrus Haulout 2025 is more than a contest. It is a chance to build the future of open data and Web3 together. #walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
