WHERE AI MEETS WEB3

Envision the future and bring it to life through code in one weekend

Welcome to the third edition of The Bucharest Hackathon, a high-energy, weekend-long event where ambitious builders and innovators from Romania and across the region come together to shape the future of technology.

In 2026, we're venturing beyond code into the frontier of intelligent, decentralized innovation, where AI, blockchain, and next-generation dev tools converge to redefine how we build, connect, and create.
