About the Hackathon
# Introduction
Somnia has teamed up with **DoraHacks** to launch it's very first **v1 Mini‑Games Hackathon** on the Somnia **Testnet**. We’re looking for bold, imaginative developers to craft bite‑sized sports showdowns, high‑stakes betting experiences, and any other adrenaline‑charged ideas you can dream up. This is your chance to be among the first waves of developers to build really cool and fun mini games on Somnia.
Jump in and start building!
