Our friends at Bolt just officially kicked off the World's Largest Hackathon, an awesome competition with over $1,000,000 in prizes!
We love that this hackathon is breaking down barriers and welcoming new participants into the ecosystem. If you’re not yet familiar with Bolt, it’s a powerful AI-platform that enables anyone with an idea to build production-ready applications without traditional coding skills.
Whether you're a seasoned developer or a first-time entrepreneur with a vision, we hope you give this hackathon a try!
Community Support
The main Hackathon entry process will take place via DevPost, but we’ll be supporting the World’s Largest Hackathon in a variety of ways!
Livestream Events
Starting next week, we'll be simulcasting as many hackathon-related livestreams as possible directly on the DEV homepage. Here are the first three sessions:
- Domain Expertise with Entri - June 2, 2025 at 9:00AM PT
- So what is an API anyways? With Pica - June 3, 2025 at 9:00AM PT
- Building Conversational Video Agents with Tavus and Bolt - June 4, 2025 at 9:00AM PT
Judging
@jess will be bringing her judging experience from DEV Challenges to the event and will be serving as an official judge for the hackathon! She can't wait to check out all the innovative projects that emerge from this event.
Writing Contest Coming Soon
We'll also be launching a writing contest specifically for World’s Largest Hackathon participants later this month, so stay tuned for details on how you can share your building journey and compete for exclusive DEV badges!

This looks huge! I'm thinking of building an AI-powered workspace app that combines docs, databases, and workflows in one place - kind of like Dotallio. Can't wait to see what others come up with, anyone else working on productivity tools?
Good luck, everyone! I hope one of the winners comes from the dev.to family! 🔥
I am so excited about this. Got myself Dev++ as well. Let's crush it!
This looks really cool. 😁
I will try to build something this time for sure.
insaneeee one, eager to make a submission myself 👀
Insane scale on this one, honestly I get hyped about seeing new stuff come out of events like these- you think having a big prize pool actually leads to better projects or it's more about the vibe and support?
So excited to review the entries for this!!
Good luck!
I'm now in and I'm stoked to participate!
Although it comes at a moment when I'm pretty pressed for time. But I guess night and weekends time will have to be super productive.
I think it would also be cool to document the journey here on DEV (if time allows 😅)
Ohhh woah ! :oo
