The Bags Hackathon

About Bags Bags is building the future of creator funding. We believe that great ideas should have the opportunity to get funded without traditional gatekeepers. Our platform empowers creators, developers, and builders to launch projects, build communities, and earn royalties from their work. Hackathon Overview The Bags Hackathon invites developers, creators, and builders from across the Solana ecosystem to create applications, tools, and experiences that push the boundaries of what is possible on the Bags platform. With over $1 million in direct prizes, $3 million in ongoing funding and support, and hardware prizes for winners, this is one of the largest creator-finance hackathons in crypto. Whether participants are experienced Solana developers or newcomers with a great idea, the Bags Hackathon is an opportunity to build something meaningful, get funded, and join a growing ecosystem of builders who are redefining how creators monetize online.
