Arc Hackathon Launch
Join us on at Encode Hub, Shoreditch for the Arc Hackathon Launch - an evening for builders, founders, and technically curious operators who want to understand what to build, why now is a strong moment for Arc, and how to approach the hackathon well.
Hosted by Encode in collaboration with Arc / Circle, this session is designed to turn interest into action. We’ll walk through the opportunity around programmable money, stablecoins, payments, and onchain financial products, and give participants a clearer sense of where strong hackathon ideas can come from.
Expect a practical launch event with a community feel, including guidance on:
why now is a strong time to build on Arc
the kinds of products and ideas that make sense in this space
how teams should think about approaching the hackathon
what judges and organisers are likely to be looking for what support, context, and momentum participants can expect as they build
This event is for builders, hackers, early-stage founders, product-minded operators, and anyone interested in turning curiosity into a real project. If you’re considering joining the hackathon — or just want to understand the opportunity around Arc more clearly - this is the session to come to.
