About the Hackathon
# A 2-weeks Hackathon to Learn, Buidl, and Earn on Umi
Umi Network brings you try-a-thon, a series of 2 hackathons for students, builders and hackers where you can learn, build, and ship a project on Umi with a prize pool of $2000!
At Umi Try-a-thon, you can expect a 2-weeks long experience of coding, learning, networking, and having fun.
While you work towards building any project you want to, you will be complemented with informative workshops, enjoyable mini-games and cool prizes.
The hackathon is open to all kinds of projects across themes, but here are a few things we’re actively thinking about these days in case you’re looking for some inspiration:
Promote Decentralization. Create developer tooling and community projects focussed on promoting and bringing more decentralization to Umi as well as the world at large.
# What to build?
You can build any decentralized applications you'd like, but here are some ideas to give you inspiration.
**Engaging Apps:** Build something people can engage a lot, like a prediction market, an NFT collection or a simple fun game.
**Streaming Payments:** Make apps using Streamflow or similar protocols to make payroll, commerce, content, and subscription management platforms that make users feel the full magic of streaming payments.
**DAO Tooling:** Create coordination, communication, and payment tools for communities using Umi as the backbone of their infrastructure.
**Developer Tooling:** Create tools, programs, and hacks, making it easier and faster for engineers to build the next generation of dApps on Umi.
Cause-driven building: We’re also looking to fund projects and research around using crypto to create a more inclusive financial system and innovative solutions towards climate change.
