As the curtains rise on this event, it’s a stage for developers to unveil their talents, uniting with like-minded visionaries who are eager to push Web3 gaming into the mainstream.
The focal point of the hackathon is providing Web3 game developers the arena to build and deploy on Oasys and its Layer2, comprising numerous Verses.

Beyond the creative challenges, the hackathon delves into the transformative potential of Oasys and Web3 gaming, highlighted by engaging AMA sessions. A unique opportunity emerges for participants to meet the creators of Oasys and Verses, along with representatives from prominent tech and gaming entities. Collaboration, brainstorming, and idea exchange will be instrumental in shaping the next wave of Web3 gaming.
Acknowledging excellence, the top three products stand to win the prestigious Oasys prize, totaling 30,000 USD in USDT rewards, distributed as 15,000 USD for the first, 10,000 USD for the second, and 5,000 USD for the third place. Additionally, participants gain from 30,000 USD in AWS Credits, exclusive benefits from Ubisoft, and invaluable support in deploying projects on Oasys and its interconnected Verses.
The hackathon timeline is punctuated with crucial dates: theme selection and product submission by September 5th, an enlightening AMA session on August 22nd, finalist announcement on September 8th, and a grand Demo Day scheduled for September 13th at the AWS Office in Singapore.
