§Hackathon Summary

The Kaia Wave Stablecoin Summer Hackathon represented Kaia’s first major effort to foster innovation in DeFi mini-dApps using Kaia-native USDT. The event drew considerable engagement, with 94 approved projects and 575 registered developers participating. Early-stage teams, focused on delivering functional DeFi products rather than simple prototypes, received comprehensive launch support, including onboarding assistance, access to investment opportunities, and technical resources.

Throughout the hackathon, several mini-dApps showcased novel uses of stablecoin DeFi on Kaia, often integrating with the LINE messenger ecosystem. Noteworthy projects explored USDT earning mechanisms, DID-based stablecoin solutions, and AI-driven functionalities for trading and asset allocation. Winners shared a $165,000 prize pool and received additional infrastructure credits. Furthermore, over $1 million in investment commitments were made available to support project launches. The event concluded with live demos from finalists at Token2049 Singapore, highlighting the focus on immediate product launches and ecosystem impact. Overall, the hackathon underscored strong technical engagement and participation in advancing DeFi development on the Kaia platform.
