About the Hackathon
# Introduction
Welcome to **Somnia Data Streams Mini Hackathon**, a global, online event taking place from **November 4th to November 15th, 2025.**
The Somnia Data Streams Mini Hackathon invites developers and builders to explore Somnia Data Streams, a breakthrough in blockchain data infrastructure.
SDS (Somnia Data Streams) is a new SDK and protocol that turns on-chain data into live, structured, and reactive streams. Instead of waiting for updates or relying on oracles, developers can now get instant data directly from the blockchain.
Devs can now build apps that react as things happen on-chain.For example games that update instantly, DeFi protocols that respond to market changes, dashboards that always stay in sync, and much more.
This hackathon is a chance to experiment, prototype, and show what’s possible when on-chain data becomes live and composable
The winners projects would be used for showcasing different use cases of Somnia Data Streams.
