Liquid Staking Hackathon Overview

Register Now

On July 27, the Sui framework was upgraded to enable developers to build non-custodial liquid staking applications on Sui. This additional functionality in the protocol has created new opportunities for developers to innovate and build creative apps and financial products on Sui.

Sui Foundation is hosting the Liquid Staking Hackathon to identify and reward developer teams that build non-custodial liquid staking functionality into their apps and products.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the hackathon start?

The hackathon officially begins on August 15, when the registration form opens. You have until September 15 to submit your project for shortlisting consideration.

Can existing projects on Sui participate?

Yes! As the feature to enable non-custodial liquid staking is fairly new on Sui, it was not previously possible to build so all projects can participate. However, for existing projects on Sui, only their newly-built liquid staking features will be considered for judging to maintain a level playing field with new projects.

Are participants allowed to register as individuals or only as teams?

Both individuals and teams are allowed to register for the hackathon. We will facilitate matchmaking for individuals to help them form teams.
