First token ever launched through Hackathon. The treasury aped it right after creation, so it opened with a holder. Season one is on.

Hackathons never end here
Every builder knows the format: a theme, a deadline, judges, a prize pool, and a weekend of shipping. Hackathons work because constraints create focus. We took that format out of the university lab and put it where attention actually lives right now: on the meta.
Crypto runs on narratives. One month it's AI agents, the next it's privacy, then it's something nobody has named yet. Money moves with the story, and builders who catch the wave early win. Most launchpads ignore this. They are static pipes: pay a fee, get a token, good luck.
Hackathon is a launchpad built on that dynamic instead of against it.
Where the money comes from
The prize pool is not a marketing budget. It is the creator fees from $Hackathon, the platform token.
Fees flow into the treasury, the treasury funds every auto-ape and every season's prizes. Trade the platform token, feed the prize pool, attract better builders, better builders grow the treasury's bags.
That is the whole flywheel, and all of it is visible on the site: live treasury balance, live market caps, every ape and every payout with a tx link.
