200 top web3 builders. 100 revenue-generating companies. 36 hours to ship blockchain that actually goes live. We don't reward innovation, we reward impact. This is the developer application (not the startup track). Selective, merit-based, all-inclusive, in Mexico City.

​The Incubathon is the main event of ETH Cinco de Mayo 2026 co-hosted with Frutero.Club. We pair 100 real companies and SMEs that already generate revenue (and have zero blockchain so far) with 200 selected top web3 developers. Teams of max 2 company reps + max 2 devs spend 36 hours shipping a useful feature that goes to production the week after. No slideware. We reward impact.

​🎟️ Free and all-inclusive (all meals covered)
💰 $12,000 guaranteed cash prizes + more to announce 💰💰💰 Partner cash prizes!!!
