We’re reaching the Apex — the exciting finale of the Hello Future Hackathon series. While Apex is the final chapter in our global trilogy, you don’t need to have joined the earlier rounds to participate. If this is your first hackathon, you’re absolutely welcome here.
The Hello Future Hackathon has unfolded as a three-part innovation journey — Origins, Ascension, and now Apex. Each chapter has built toward something bigger, and Apex brings it all together with our largest opportunities, boldest ideas, and biggest rewards yet.
Builders from around the world are turning ideas into real-world impact with cutting-edge Hedera technology, a supportive global community, and a massive $550,000 total prize pool across the trilogy.
Your story can start at Apex.
