Organized by Sonic SVM in New York, the hackathon runs from Feb. 17 to March 14, 2025, and offers a prize pool of $1M. The announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News says that participants are invited to develop decentralized applications (dapps) across sectors including gaming, decentralized finance (defi), and artificial intelligence (AI), with each project evaluated on technical depth and real-world viability. Event organizers stress clear criteria to ensure an equitable assessment of projects for all.

It is important to recognize that Sonic SVM and Fantom’s Sonic layer one (L1) chain are not the same and remain two distinct blockchain projects with unique goals, foundational technologies, and ecosystems.

Hackathon teams may choose from four designated tracks, which include content creation for capital markets, defi projects such as asset launchpads and trading bots, AI tools and agent aggregators, and gaming applications ranging from mini-games to social and high-ARPU formats. The team explained that the categorization is designed to promote diverse onchain innovations on the Sonic SVM chain. Judges will review submissions based on established performance benchmarks.

A panel of judges will evaluate entries using criteria that include technical complexity, market potential, and operational feasibility. The judging process will incorporate detailed feedback to help teams refine their projects. Participants are expected to share progress on social media, which may influence public awareness of the projects and the overall reach of the hackathon. Reviewers will adhere to transparent, merit-based evaluation standards consistently.

The hackathon coincides with the upcoming Sonic SVM mainnet launch, scheduled for Feb. 27, 2025, which will reportedly provide a dedicated layer for high-performance decentralized applications on Solana. Organizers view the event as a means to demonstrate the network’s scalability and to encourage developers to explore new onchain functionalities in various sectors. The event is expected to contribute to broader technological advancements within the decentralized ecosystem.
