Workshop 03: Hackathon Winning Strategies

​Workshop 03: Hackathon Winning Strategies – the third event in the Cardano Blockchain Hackathon 2025 workshop series – will be held from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on May 4, 2025. This session is designed to equip participants with practical insights and proven strategies to stand out and succeed in hackathons, especially within the blockchain space.

​The workshop will kick off with a focused session on how to win a hackathon – covering everything from idea validation, team formation, and technical execution to presentation techniques that can impress judges. Whether you’re a first-time participant or a returning competitor, this session will help sharpen your game plan and increase your chances of making it to the top 15.

​Following this, we’ll welcome a special guest from Minswap, one of the most successful decentralized projects built on the Cardano ecosystem. The team will share their journey from ideation to building a real-world product, including lessons learned, challenges faced, and how they leveraged the power of the Cardano community to grow. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from builders who’ve turned hackathon energy into sustainable success.
