| # Boundless Launches Its First Hackathon Campaign | ||
|
|
||
| Boundless is officially launching its first-ever hackathon today, **May 13th, 2026**. | ||
|
|
||
| In collaboration with **[Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/)**, we are bringing together builders, creatives, developers, and thinkers for a multi-day hybrid event focused on brainstorming and building ideas that will revolutionize Web3 and DeFi. | ||
|
|
||
| The Boundless x [Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/) Hackathon is designed to encourage experimentation, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving. Participants will have the opportunity to ideate and build projects on the **Stellar** ecosystem. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## Why Boundless | ||
|
|
||
| The next wave of the internet is being built in Web3. | ||
|
|
||
| Every day, new ideas emerge across payments, coordination, finance, and digital ownership. But for many builders, the gap between ideation and execution still remains difficult to cross. | ||
|
|
||
| At Boundless, our mission is to help bridge that gap. | ||
|
|
||
| We believe the next generation of Web3 products should be built on systems that prioritize **transparency, verification, efficiency, and seamless global collaboration** from the start. | ||
|
|
||
| The Boundless x [Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/) Hackathon is designed to help developers explore what that future could look like in practice. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## Build Faster with the [Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/) Starter Kit | ||
|
|
||
| The focus of this hack is to encourage innovative thinking and unique real-world problem-solving techniques. That is why we are partnering with **[Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/)**, so teams can focus on: | ||
|
|
||
| - Product design | ||
| - Workflow architecture | ||
| - User experience | ||
| - Integrations | ||
| - Application-level innovation | ||
|
|
||
| [Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/) allows teams to implement escrow systems from start to finish in a very short time. This is also why we have limited use cases to products that require escrow as the core infrastructure. | ||
|
|
||
| To help participants move quickly from ideation to implementation, developers will have access to the **[Trustless Work Builder Starter Kit](https://www.trustlesswork.com/)**. | ||
|
|
||
| The hackathon will also include workshops, mentorship sessions, and technical support from the team at [Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/) to help participants navigate implementation challenges and refine their projects. | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||

|
||
| ## Who Can Participate? | ||
|
|
||
| The hackathon is open to **developers, designers, product builders**, and anyone interested in building internet-native coordination systems. | ||
|
|
||
| Participants may hack alone or form teams of **2 to 5 members** across the participant scope. Participants do not need to arrive with a fully developed idea. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## What Should You Build? | ||
|
|
||
| Participants are expected to build a focused product using [Trustless Work](https://www.trustlesswork.com/) primitives. The goal is not to build another generic escrow platform, but to create specific applications that solve real problems. | ||
|
|
||
| Some possible directions include: | ||
|
|
||
| - Freelance and milestone-based work platforms | ||
| - Marketplace and e-commerce escrow systems | ||
| - Grant distribution and bounty management tools | ||
| - Crowdfunding and pre-order infrastructure | ||
| - Rental agreements and security deposit flows | ||
| - P2P stablecoin exchange applications | ||
| - Trade finance coordination tools | ||
| - AI agent payment and workflow systems | ||
|
|
||
| Participants will also have flexible integration options depending on their preferred workflow. Teams can move quickly with low-code tooling, build with prebuilt components, or work directly with **SDKs and APIs** for more advanced customization and deeper product control. | ||
