About the Hackathon
AlgoBharat Hack Series 3.0
One of India’s most ambitious blockchain initiatives.
Core Vision
This hackathon challenges developers to build foundational open-source modules for India’s next generation of enterprise blockchain solutions. The focus is on creating interoperable, well-documented components that solve specific business problems within three strategic areas that are are aligned with Algorand’s roadmap and India’s digital transformation.
The Hack Series is built as a launchpad for serious builders — identifying strong teams, helping them shape their ideas into full-fledged Web3 products, and supporting their journey toward becoming impactful startups in the ecosystem. We are moving away from isolated proof-of-concepts and towards a library of trusted components that can power:
1) Future of Finance (DeFi, Payments, RWAs) 2) Agentic Commerce (AI + Blockchain) 3) Regulatory Technology (Digital Personal Data Protection Compliance, Identity)
We are excited to support builders in this competition who are building scalable, usable solutions with clear market relevance and real-world impact.
Selected teams will be guided through:
- Mentorship
- Product refinement
- Go-to-market preparation
The program culminates in June with a developer retreat designed to accelerate projects toward mainnet deployment and startup readiness.
The AlgoBharat Hack Series 3.0 prize pool totals USD 30,000 + acceleration support.

⚡ About This Round
This is Round 2 of Hack Series 3.0.
All selected builds from this round will advance to Round 3, where final teams will be shortlisted for an IRL Developer Retreat in Goa, focused on accelerating projects toward mainnet deployment and product readiness.
🎯 Submission Focus (Round 2)
📅 Next Submission Deadline: April 15, 2026
As we move into this phase, the focus shifts from broad ideas to deep execution.
Instead of building a full product, participants must:
👉 Identify ONE core feature 👉 Build it end-to-end with full functionality
🧩 What We Expect
- A complete full-stack implementation
- A single-user flow (UI → blockchain interaction → transaction confirmation)
- Direct integration with Algorand blockchain
- A working product, not a prototype
⚠️ Note: Clickable prototypes or partial demos will NOT be accepted.
💡 Example
If you're building in Future of Finance:
- Focus on just lending flow OR
- Just staking mechanism
But ensure it works perfectly from user click to on-chain execution.
You can leverage tools like VibeKit to accelerate development.
🛠 Resources & Support
