Every once in a while, an opportunity comes along that redefines what’s possible. If you’re a builder looking to push the boundaries of DeFi and modular infrastructure, the XFI Foundation Hackathon is that opportunity.

Backed by the XFI Foundation and XFI Labs, this hackathon is more than just a coding competition — it’s a launchpad for the next generation of onchain financial primitives. Whether you're a solo developer or a startup team, this is your chance to build on cutting-edge infrastructure and get visibility from some of the most influential players in crypto.

Why Participate?

$40,000+ in Prizes
Competitive rewards across multiple categories to recognize the most innovative projects.
Fast-Track to Grants
Top teams will be considered for the XFI Grants Program, providing long-term funding and support.
Ecosystem Exposure
Get your project in front of VCs, strategic partners, and the wider Berachain and modular DeFi ecosystem.
Unmatched Infrastructure
Build using XFI’s modular DeFi stack, powered by Berachain’s Proof-of-Liquidity consensus.

Track Themes

The hackathon is designed to inspire experimentation across five key areas:

Liquidity Layer Infrastructure
Improve capital efficiency, cross-chain composability, and liquidity routing.
Derivatives & Structured Products
Create new instruments that unlock yield, risk management, or exposure for users and protocols.
Stablecoin Primitives
Build reliable and composable stable assets and collateral mechanisms.
UX for Modularity
Rethink interfaces and developer tooling that lower the barrier to modular DeFi adoption.
Open Track
No rules — just build something impressive that pushes the space forward.

Important Dates

Hackathon Kickoff: July 11
Submission Deadline: July 21

The window is short — but the potential is massive.

Who Should Join?

Whether you’re a Solidity developer, a frontend designer, a data engineer, or a product thinker — there’s space for you here. Even if you’re new to the XFI ecosystem, there will be workshops, onboarding sessions, and community support to help you get up to speed.

Get Involved

The next generation of DeFi won’t be built by accident. It will be built by ambitious, creative teams leveraging modular infrastructure to solve problems that existing systems can’t.

Are you ready to be one of them?
