What is our hackathon like?
The hackathon gives video game developers an opportunity to prove themselves and present an attractive product.

You can learn about the TON ecosystem, find out more about TON Play, a platform for Web3 games, exchange knowledge, take part in discussions, and possibly start collaborating with other participants. In just two days, you’ll have a chance to develop technical solutions for the platform together with experts from TON Play and TON Tech. They will support and guide all participants of the Saint Petersburg hackathon, share useful experience, and help develop your case.
All this will happen offline in Saint Petersburg on February 24-25. Then organizers Hack-a-TON x DoraHacks will select Top 10 leading teams and announce results on March 31.
