BNB Chain to Host Hackathon and Demo Night in Bangkok, Nov 25-27, 2026

BNB Chain is set to host a Hackathon and Demo Night in Bangkok from November 25 to 27, 2026, bringing together developers, founders, and investors to explore innovation in artificial intelligence (AI), real-world assets (RWA), and trading. The event offers two distinct tracks for participants: the Developer Track and the Startup Track, each tailored to different stages of project development.

Developer Track: Build and Compete

The Developer Track invites builders and developers to create new projects over a 36-hour hackathon. Participants will work on original ideas, combining disciplines and themes, and present their work during the Demo Night on November 27. Prizes for this track include:

• 1st Place: $5,000 USD, up to $50,000 in Kickstart Ecosystem Support, fast-track interviews for YZi Labs EASY Residency, and access to potential investment through the $1 billion Builder Fund.
• 2nd Place: $3,000 USD.
• 3rd Place: $2,000 USD.

Submissions will be judged on design and usability, scalability, innovation, open-source contributions, and integration, with a focus on sustainable business models and community engagement.

Startup Track: Pitch to Investors

The Startup Track is designed for mature projects with live products, demonstrated traction, and investment readiness. Selected teams will pitch to industry venture capitalists during the Demo Night. Winners will gain fast-track access to YZi Labs EASY Residency and potential investment opportunities through the $1 billion Builder Fund. Startup teams may also participate in the Developer Track to integrate sponsor technologies into their existing products, provided they clearly distinguish new work from prior developments.

Event Schedule

• November 25: Developer Track begins with the 36-hour build period.
• November 26: Building continues for Developer Track participants.
• November 27 (Morning): Developer Track build period ends.
• November 27 (Afternoon/Evening): Developer Track presentations and Startup Track pitches take place, followed by awards and networking.

Demo Night and Networking

The event will culminate in a Demo Night at Park Hyatt Bangkok on November 27, featuring live project demos, awards, and networking opportunities. Attendance is free, but registration and approval are required. Separate tickets are available for attendees and those applying to present projects during the Demo Night.

For more details and registration, participants can choose their track and register for the Developer Track hackathon or apply for the Startup Track via Demo Night.
