Arbitrum, in partnership with developer platform HackQuest, is launching a Mini Hackathon for the Asia-Pacific developer community, encouraging developers to freely explore and prototype around the Arbitrum technology stack. This four-week, fully online event is suitable for individual developers, student teams, and early-stage projects.

This Hackathon will have only one open track, and the prize money will be distributed as follows:

First Prize (1 award): US$2,000
Second Prize (2 awards): $500 each
Award of Excellence (maximum 10): $50–$100 per award

The judging panel will consider a comprehensive evaluation of project completeness, user experience, creative highlights, and practical usability. All submissions must be made via the HackQuest platform, including a GitHub link and supporting documentation.

The Mini Hackathon was officially launched today (November 26) at the ArbiMix offline event held at City University of Hong Kong. The event brought together more than 100 participants from universities, developer communities and Web3 projects to engage in in-depth discussions on the Arbitrum technology stack and the future of Layer 2.

Registration and submission of entries for this online Mini Hackathon will be open from November 28 to December 26, 2025. The final results will be officially announced after the event.
