What your support unlocks

• $3,500Minimum Threshold - This is the bare minimum amount needed to make the hackathon feasible in a reduced, minimum viable format. At this level, funding would prioritize essential event operations, a smaller prize pool, basic food and refreshments, and the minimum developer support required to run the hackathon.
• $7,000Main Target - Reaching $7,000 would allow us to deliver the complete planned event, including a meaningful prize pool, on-site Kaspa team support and participation, food and drinks, marketing, photography and professional event coverage.
• $8,000Stretch Goal - Reaching the $8,000 stretch goal would allow us to expand the prize pool, strengthen event coverage and media production, provide Kaspa-branded merch to student developers, increase promotional reach and provide more comprehensive post-event support to promising teams.

Beyond the $7,000 goal, any additional contributions will first cover unforeseen event costs, then support an expanded event where funding allows. Essential event costs will take priority. Any remaining funds will be reserved exclusively for future Kaspa-focused university or developer hackathons. All budget figures are estimates and may be adjusted as event plans and costs are confirmed.

The above are estimates and subject to change as we get more precise information.
