​This is not a hackathon. It’s your pathway to unicorn status.
The Polygon Buildathon is a 3-month progress-driven program designed to help you scale your product, integrate Polygon, and raise funding from top-tier VCs.

​In this Onboarding Workshop, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to succeed — from program structure and grant opportunities to direct VC connections and ecosystem support.
