The Hackathon Playbook: Your Game Plan for a Podium Finish

Within the Chiliz Chain ecosystem—especially with its focus on Fan Tokens—participants are encouraged to treat these events like championship matches. Success hinges on assembling a diverse team, understanding the challenge landscape, and crafting a clear mission. During the event, the goal is to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that captures the core idea with precision. Afterward, participants should focus on storytelling, delivering a polished pitch, and leveraging networking opportunities to extend their project’s life beyond the hackathon.
