Hackathon Prizes

There will be a 24 hour hackathon sprint starting after the workshops (please sleep tho) for plebs to build and showcase innovative ideas for the bitcoin ecosystem. If you don’t have any ideas yet, the workshops will most definitely give you some inspiration. 💡

As for awards, we are offering three prizes in three different categories valued at $2,000 each! (subject to change till the event starts).

Speakers

We've got amazing speakers lined up such as PortlandHodl (Filters and metaprotocols), JHB (Taproot Assets), JudoFlexChop (wasm and alkanes), and more! You can check out this site for more info: https://pleb.fi/miami2025

Requirements

Must be new

No cheating allowed – while it’s OK if your submission is part of a larger project or ecosystem, the point is to try out new things and explore. There’s no firm rule here – we’ll know cheating when we see it, and disqualify at our discretion. When in doubt, ask an organizer if your project is in the spirit of the event.

Teams

Teams can have 3-4 members. form them with your friends ahead of time or with people that you meet during workshops. you can also join the tg channel after you purchase a tix.

To make the event more inclusive, you can have one ‘remote only’ teammate, just let us know in advance who they are. In the spirit of getting real remote participants, we encourage remotes to be e.g. 2 hours+ away from miami (if you see them during the event in person it’s a disqualifier).
