Injective (INJ)plans 10-day Hacker House in Bangkok with AWS, Animoca Brands

Injective (INJ)said it will host its first Hacker House in Bangkok from December 1 to 10, bringing 20 selected teams into a 10-day program focused on onchain applications across real-world assets, privacy and agentic finance. The announcement, published October 28, comes as the protocol has also recently introduced new financial primitives, including an onchain AI compute index and an options primitive.

Evidence and context

In its announcement, Injective said participants will build alongside its core team and receive direct access to representatives from AWS, Animoca Brands, SMBC Nikko, Bittensor, Ninja Labs, Gulf Labs and HackQuest. The company said AWS will provide cloud infrastructure support and credits, while Ninja Labs may offer milestone grants and continued incubation for standout projects. Applications are open until November 10, according to the post, and selected teams will be notified in mid-November.

The company said the program is designed for AI founders and developers already building on Injective, with projects spanning autonomous trading agents, AI payment systems, RWAs, perpetuals, decentralized AI infrastructure, privacy and options. Selected teams will receive accommodation, meals and travel support, along with AWS cloud credits, while the residency will include workshops, office hours and a demo day scheduled for December 9, according to the announcement.

Injective linked the Hacker House to recent product releases and institutional developments on its network. The company said Pineapple Financial has brought more than $1 billion in mortgage records onto Injective, while Injective Mint and Injective Institutional Services have expanded its tokenization and transfer-agent infrastructure. On October 26, Injective said it launched the Super Intelligence Compute Index, described as putting NVIDIA GPU rental prices onchain through a perpetual market. On October 27, it announced an onchain options primitive that developers can use to create white-label options exchanges and derivatives protocols.

Market data provided for October 28 showed INJ trading at $7.75, down 5.09% on the day, with a market capitalization of $776.11 million. Those figures describe the token, not the broader protocol usage, and the announcement did not provide updated adoption metrics for the Hacker House or the underlying products.

Injective did not provide a next catalyst beyond the application deadline and the December program dates. The company said additional mentors will be announced before the event.
