Hack the Rainbow is a creative, collaborative, cross chain hackathon focused on building the bridges needed to make web3 an accessible reality for everyone. Our aim is to work with Ethereum partners and bring together the best tools for that build.

As our very first hackathon, we see Hack the Rainbow as a chance to explore that “wide range of related and colourful things” connecting the Ethereum and NEAR ecosystems together. We see it as a chance to deliver value, community education and broader opportunity for everyone wanting to explore the power of interoperability and interconnectedness.

With Hack the Rainbow, we are combining experts, mentors, educators, and community members from both NEAR and Ethereum with the goal of accelerating Web3 adoption and doing so as a creative and collaborative commons.

Hack the Rainbow

MetaBUILD will take you from idea to market ready in 8 weeks.

Write, test and deploy scalable decentralized applications on the most developer-friendly blockchain using the languages you already know – even Javascript.

NEAR is here to help reimagine your world and empower users to have full control and responsibility over their data. Build simple, scalable and secure dApps, DeFi, Web3, Gaming, Digital Art/Collectibles, infrastructure apps and tools, or migrate an existing EVM app to NEAR.

Join the NEAR MetaBUILD Hackathon and start coding.

Stay tuned for online meet-ups, educational workshops and mentor days!

NEARCON

The NEAR Hacker House is open to those looking to build projects on NEAR. It is a series of week-long in-real-life events with in-person guidance from key industry players in the NEAR ecosystem, providing technical training, mentorship, and acceleration for builders, artists, marketers and entrepreneurs in the Web3 space. Each night after the Hacker House, there are also community-driven networking events.

The first two communities to host NEAR Hacker House are @NEAR__Miami, happening from May 18 to 22, followed by @NEAR_ATX from June 8 to 12. 

Together, let us learn, build, relax and repeat. Builders, artists, founders, marketers, investors, everyone is welcome to come hang out with old/new friends in the NEAR community!
