The Incubathon is the main event of ETH Cinco de Mayo 2026, co-hosted with Frutero.Club. We pair 100 real companies and SMEs that already generate revenue (and have little or no blockchain so far) with 200 selected top web3 developers. Teams of 2 company reps + 2 devs spend 36 hours shipping a useful feature that goes to production the week after. No slideware. We reward impact.
