This hackathon is open to all enthusiasts around the world, and renowned developer ecosystems HackQuest and OpenBuild will provide tools, exposure to new projects, and mentorship.
This event offers builders the opportunity to create practical innovations rather than hyped trends.
Building to solve real-world problems
Mantle emphasized what he expects from hackathon participants: relevant products that address real problems for users.
Meanwhile, the evaluation procedure prioritizes five key pillars including scalability, product design, technical execution, mante integration, and market potential.
The Mantle team emphasized that successful entries should focus on market utility, not flashy demos.
In fact, this hackathon is a platform for serious builders, not short-term speculators. They said:
Build something that lasts, not just a trend. Focus on execution, ease of use, and real-world relevance. The most important thing is to solve what the user needs.
Meanwhile, participants have plenty of time to design and bring their innovative projects to life.
Registration and construction begins this month, with winner announcement expected in February.

Creators have time to plan, test, and hone their ideas before presenting their projects to the broader crypto community and judges.
For context, this hackathon boasts a diverse panel of judges made up of some of the biggest names in the blockchain world.
The comprehensive list includes 0x Todd, Trustless State, Notaciccap, and several other companies with experience across venture capital, DeFi innovation, and product development.
A large judging team increases the credibility of your event.
Additionally, the committee boasts expertise in evaluating projects and creative innovations that have real-world impact, so its experience shows high expectations.
Mantle and Bybit prioritize real-world solutions
The five-month hackathon coincides with Mantle’s current partnership with centralized exchange Bybit, which aims to bring together liquidity providers, real-world assets, and developers.
The duo aims to democratize the multi-trillion dollar on-chain financial industry.
This initiative reflects Mantle’s mission to expand beyond blockchain networks and create an international developer community that accelerates financial innovation.
MNT price outlook
Mantle’s native tokens reflect broader sentiments today.
MNT has lost nearly 10% of its value in the past 24 hours to $1.64.
With bears roiling the crypto world, the waning daily trading volume indicates traders’ indifference to the token.
Due to tariff tensions and other factors, the value of all digital tokens plummeted 5% in the past 24 hours to $3.65 trillion.
Nevertheless, analysts remain confident and predict a strong recovery from the fourth quarter to 2026.
Meanwhile, the ongoing hackathon may increase MNT’s utility and trading volume in the future, promoting stable price performance.
