HashKey Chain Horizon Hackathon 2026: Mumbai Edition
Build AI trading agents or agent payments on HashKey Chain for a share of 10,000 USDT. Submit by November 1, 2026, with a demo day in Mumbai on November 4.
The HashKey Chain Horizon Hackathon, Mumbai Edition, is a hackathon for AI and decentralized finance on HashKey Chain. It started on October 23, 2026 and is run on DoraHacks, with a demo day in Mumbai.
The total prize pool is 10,000 USDT, split over two tracks of 5,000 USDT each: AI Agent Trading, and Agent Payments and A2A Settlement. In each track first place gets 2,500 USDT, second 1,500 USDT and third 1,000 USDT. Prize money is paid within 14 working days after the winners are named.
Individuals and teams from anywhere can join. Projects must be original and built or rebuilt during the hackathon, fit one of the two tracks, and be deployed on HashKey Chain mainnet. Projects that are not deployed lose their chance at a demo slot. The payments track must use HSP, and using the officially recommended tools earns extra points.
Registration and submission both close on November 1, 2026 at 21:30 IST, and late entries are not accepted. Selected pitch teams are announced on November 3, the demo day takes place in Mumbai on November 4, and winners are named on November 5. A panel of five judges, three from partners and two from HashKey Chain, reviews the projects.
Winning teams can also get technical help from the HashKey Chain engineers, investment talks with HashKey Capital, compliance advice and introductions to partners. The organizer says it never charges any fee to take part.
Quick answers
Do I have to be in Mumbai?
No. Online demos are possible, but teams that can demo in person in Mumbai get priority for demo selection.
Do teams that do not win get anything?
HashKey Chain says it reviews all promising projects and may contact them about incubation, technical help and funding support.
