Welcome to the official HyperHack section of our forum!
This dedicated space has been created to support participants throughout the HyperHack Hackathon journey.
To maintain quality and organization, new topics can only be created by approved participants in the Hyperion Project Initiators group.
Purpose & Benefits
This category serves as the central hub for hackathon projects, designed to:
- Provide a structured technical assessment of project ideas
- Facilitate skill-matching, increase participation numbers, and improve project diversity
- Help developers find or join teams quickly
- Capture quality team profiles, standardize project proposals, and create baseline for judging criteria
- Increase hackathon project quality, drive forum activity, and ensure alignment with Hyperion’s technical capabilities
Hackathon Stages
Stage 1: Applications & Ideathon (Now - June 15)
Please refer to the Ideathon subcategory pinned post for instructions on how to participate.
During this phase, participants will:
- Submit and refine project ideas
- Receive feedback on technical feasibility and innovation potential
- Form teams and find collaborators with complementary skills
- Align project goals with Hyperion’s capabilities
Stage 2: Development Stage (June 2 - August 7) [CURRENT]
As we progress, this section will evolve to support:
- Providing technical guidance and showcasing Hyperion’s capabilities
- Keeping teams shipping and maintaining visibility
- Helping teams effectively showcase their projects
- Enabling skilled participants to join existing teams after hackathon start
- Improving project user experience and interface design through community feedback
Stage 3: Stress-testing Stage (July 15 - August 7)
Later, we’ll focus on:
- Identifying potential vulnerabilities in projects
- Gathering bugs, UX feedback, and load data
- Collecting well-scoped test tasks for stress-testing
- Conducting thorough testing of submitted dApps
- Validating projects under real-world conditions and identifying performance and UX bottlenecks
Stage 4: Judging and Wrap-up (August 7 - August 16)
In the final stage, we’ll concentrate on:
- Improving project quality before judging
- Helping teams refine value propositions and target audiences
- Showcasing completed projects
- Determining winners based on innovation, quality, and performance
