Bangalore, India – March 10, 2025 — Core Foundation, the entity dedicated to growing Core, Bitcoin’s first PoS layer and the largest Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, is bringing a five-day BTCfi & AI Hackathon to Bangalore, India, in March.
Over 400 DeFi and AI builders have already applied for Core Hacker House India 2025, a five-day Bitcoin DeFi (BTCfi) & AI hackathon designed for the sharpest minds in Web3. Inspired by the Solana-style hacker house model, Core is bringing an intense, in-person build experience to Bitcoin’s first PoS layer.
From March 17–21, 2025, developers will collaborate and compete to build the most promising Bitcoin DeFi protocols on Core.
Building the Future of Bitcoin DeFi
Bitcoin DeFi is a rapidly expanding ecosystem with over $6 billion in total value locked (TVL) and growing adoption across lending, borrowing, gaming, and more. At the forefront of this movement is Core blockchain, which has emerged as a leader with over $1 billion in TVL and 250+ dApps built for real-world use cases. Now, the momentum is shifting to builders.
Core Hacker House India 2025 is set to be a launchpad for the next wave of innovation, bringing together top developers to experiment, launch, and scale BTCfi and AI-powered dApps on Bitcoin’s most advanced PoS chain.
“DeFi on Bitcoin is inevitable,” said Rumeel Hussein. “But it won’t happen unless the best builders take on the challenge. That’s why we’re bringing together some of the smartest developers in India and beyond to build what’s next.”
An Immersive Build Marathon
Core Hacker House India 2025 is a high-energy, builder-first experience where developers go head-down, refine their ideas, and launch real projects.
Here’s what’s happening over five days:
- Mentorship from top BTCfi, AI, and blockchain experts
- Nonstop hacking with workspace, food, and accommodation covered
- Live coding, workshops, and rapid prototyping
- Turf challenges, networking, and late-night brainstorming
- Demo Day: Where builders showcase projects and claim their share of $5,000 in rewards
The best projects will walk away with $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000 in CORE tokens. For those who don’t win a prize, they will still leave with a working BTCfi project, new connections, and the support of a fast-growing developer ecosystem.
Spots are limited, and applications are closing March 10, 2025. Builders can apply here: https://lu.ma/x8vxl7re
