COMPSPHERE 12

About the challengeHACKSPHERE 2026 is the flagship international hackathon of Computer Science Atmosphere (COMPSPHERE), organized by the Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Faculty of Computer Science at President University.This year, we invite visionary minds to explore our grand theme:"Web3 Innovation". The challenge is to move beyond conventional centralized applications by integrating core Web3 elements (such as decentralized authentication, advanced cryptography, immutable databases, or smart contracts) to solve rigorously validated real-world problems. (Note: Creating crypto tokens or DeFi instruments is NOT required). Teams are highly encouraged to build Hybrid Tech Stacks by blending Web2 architecture with Web3 elements and Artificial Intelligence (AI).This is aTwo-Phase Hybridcompetition:Phase 1 (Online Preliminaries - The Filtering):A 100% conceptual round focusing on research sharpness and technical strategy. No programming code is required yet. Teams must submit a comprehensive, data-driven Idea Proposal (PDF) via Devpost.Phase 2 (Offline Execution - The 24-Hour Final):Only the Top 30 teams will advance to a grueling 24-hour coding marathon and Live Pitching session. Teams must build a fully functional Minimum Viable Product (MVP) based strictly on their Phase 1 proposal. This phase is held physically at President University in Cikarang, Indonesia, with virtual/hybrid teleconference options provided specifically for Full International and International Mix Teams.Get startedStep 1: Read the Rules & Download Templates:Download and thoroughly read the OfficialHacksphere 2026 Guidebookto understand the complete rules, prohibitions, and judging criteria.
