Encode x Arc Enterprise & DeFi Hackathon

​About the Event

​Join us for a weekend of onchain innovation across DeFi, enterprise finance, banking infrastructure, and programmable money on Arc, the Economic OS for the internet.

​Hosted at Encode Hub, this is a 3-day IRL hackathon welcoming builders, featuring hands-on mentorship, deep technical sessions, and focused integration support — with a $10,000 prize pool across multiple tracks.

​🔔 Permissioned Enterprise Products Note: Some tools - StableFX, USYC, and Circle Payments Network (CPN) - are permissioned enterprise products. If you plan to build with them, register early so we can share the right access credentials and onboarding support.
