About the Hackathon
Building on Bitcoin used to require blood, sweat, and tears. Now Bitcoin is as programmable as any other chain. We're [Midl](https://x.com/midl_xyz), an infrastructure for Bitcoin native dApps, and we welcome you to our hands-on journey to test our solutions with the help of AI.
We offer you a 14-day sprint to prove anything is doable with a $1,000 grand reward for the winning dApp, Claude Credits for top 5 entries, and special dev packs from our dear sponsors Xverse, leading wallet solution for Bitcoin ecosystem.
**What we want:** A proof-of-concept dApp that actually works. Not slides. Not a whitepaper. Code that runs from front-end to on-chain confirmation.
Use any AI model you want to speed-run development. That's the whole point: vibe coding. Prompt your way to a working product.
### **What "working" means:**
- Proper front-end design (no default AI slop)
- Xverse wallet connection
- User triggers action in UI
- Action hits Midl RPC/SDK → executes Solidity contract
- Txs appears on-chain with hash
- UI updates to reflect new state
### **What you deliver:**
- Video showing the full flow
- Transaction proof (contract + tx links)
- Code repo
- Public X post
If you know how to code or prompt AI, you're already qualified. Show your builder power.
