Aevum Builder Challenge #1 is a free, online hackathon for developers anywhere. Each team ships one working stablecoin payment flow on Aevum Testnet, using the test stablecoin tUSD8.
Pre-registration is open on DoraHacks. Registration and the starter kit open on Nov 16 at 06:00 UTC (14:00 HKT).
What you build
One flow, end to end:
- a smart contract deployed on Aevum Testnet, with verified source code
- a simple interface or a script that runs the flow
- a public repo on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, with project documentation
- a short demo video showing the flow working on testnet
Aevum is EVM-compatible, so Solidity, Foundry, Hardhat, Remix and viem work as they do on Ethereum. If you haven't used the network yet, Aevum Testnet: How do I get started? walks through adding the network, getting test gas and deploying a first contract.

$1,500 in USDT: $800 for first place, $500 for second and $200 for third. Participants also get a fast track into the mainnet builder program. Prizes are subject to eligibility checks.
Who can join
Solo developers, or teams of 2 to 4 formed before the event. The challenge is open to Solidity and EVM developers, payment and fintech engineers, and Web2 developers trying Web3.
All code is written during the build window, and every contract runs on Aevum Testnet with test tokens only. No tokens are issued or promised.
