Graph Hacks 2026
Online hackathon with a $20,000 prize pool for agents that use FalkorDB as their context. Submit by 18 October 2026.
Graph Hacks is an online hackathon from WeMakeDevs, powered by FalkorDB. The prize pool is $20,000. It runs from 12:01 a.m. IST on 15 October 2026 to 11:59 p.m. IST on 18 October 2026, when submissions close. It is free and open to developers worldwide. You can enter alone or with a team of up to four people.
The brief is to build an agent, or a group of agents, that uses FalkorDB as its context layer. The graph has to shape what the agent does. There are three tracks. One is for agents that act on connected data. One is for agent memory and coordination across sessions. One is for a company brain that links people, projects and decisions. Each track has its own prize, and every member of a winning team receives that prize. There is also a prize for the best blog post, and a t shirt for every member of the top 50 teams.
FalkorDB must be the primary graph database and must support a central part of the product. You do not need prior graph database experience. You may use any programming language. A live deployment is preferred. If the project cannot be deployed, it must include full local setup instructions and a working demo video. Register on the WeMakeDevs page for Graph Hacks. The FalkorDB Discord stays open for the whole event.
