Defeating Entropy Hackathon

​Defeating Entropy
A hackathon for radical life extension technologies

For the first time in history, we are able to engineer biology. This hackathon is asking what if we are able to defeat biological entropy and radically extend human life.

​Two Days. Build a prototype to enable:

​Track I — Replacement
Neural tissue engineering and grafting. Biohybrid and synthetic tissue systems. Organ regeneration and replacement. Gradual brain replacement and neural prosthetics.

​Track II — Biostasis
Cryopreservation. Chemical fixation. Suspended animation. Hibernation. Preservation protocols and viability monitoring.

​Expect:

1. ​Debate (20 March) - Luma link
   On the evening before the hackathon, we will host a debate and a discussion evening on the motion:
   
   “Can Whole Brain Emulation Deliver Radical Life Extension.”
   
   Debaters:
   Christian Larsen: co-founcer and COO of NethoLabs, a whole brain neuroscience and whole brain emulation company.
   Daniel Burger: co-founder at Synconetics organization and neuroengineer at EightSix Science, a biohybrid gradual brain replacement and functional brain extraction company.
   Moderated by Levan Bokeria, SoTA co-founder.
   
   Note: requires separate registration - event link.
   
   

2. ​Hackathon (21-22 March)
   World-class mentors. Compute, frontier AI tools and biological datasets. Post-event support for teams that ship. And 100 people playing long-term games in longevity.
   

   • ​Prizes:

     • ​Best project — Replacement track

     • ​Best project — Biostasis track

     • ​Additional prizes to be announced
       

   • ​Challenges:
     Data and challenges provided by domain experts. To be released closer to the hackathon date.
