“The DMCC and Bybit Hackathon speaks volumes about Dubai’s wealth of talent,” said Helen Liu, COO of Bybit. “We initially planned to present 10 top projects on Pitch Day, but had to extend the program by 50% because it was not possible to make further cuts. Together with DMCC, we are proud to be nurturing the brilliant talent emerging from MENA and enriching Dubai’s blockchain ecosystem.”

The 15 project teams range from on-chain philanthropy to safety, covering key aspects crucial to the foundation and the future of Web3.

Winners gain access to exclusive acceleration programs, security audits, and invaluable industry mentorship.
