From December 5 to 7, 2025, Qubic is hosting its “Hack the Future” hackathon, in collaboration with Lablab.ai, to drive innovation on its decentralized computing network. This 48-hour event is a unique opportunity for developers, entrepreneurs and even people with no programming experience, thanks to its hybrid format combining technical and no-code tracks.
What is Qubic?
Qubic is a layer 1 blockchain that aims for more than transactions: it integrates a useful computing model. Instead of spending resources on traditional proof of work, Qubic channels computing power toward useful tasks such as training neural networks. This approach opens up a wide range of possibilities for developing Web3 applications with artificial intelligence, automation and new business models.
What does “Hack the Future” offer?
The hackathon is structured around two main tracks:
- Nostromo Launchpad
- Aimed at those building protocols or applications on Qubic from scratch.
- Themes: DeFi, tokenized finance, DEXs, yield optimization, derivatives, payments, lending, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, infrastructure tools or middleware.
- Teams can deploy on the Qubic testnet, although it is not required to participate.
- EasyConnect Integrations
- Designed for people with little or no technical knowledge.
- It leverages EasyConnect, a tool that connects Qubic blockchain events with no-code platforms such as Make, Zapier or n8n.
- Use cases: process automation (airdrops, dashboards, analytics bots), community workflows (Discord, Telegram), wallet activity alerts, etc.
Technology and available resources
During the hackathon, participants will have access to:
- Qubic technical documentation (SDK, API, RPC) for those working on the Nostromo track.
- EasyConnect account + preconfigured templates for those taking the no-code route.
- Public testnet + faucet to test deployments if needed.
- Mentors and technical support from both the Qubic team and the community.
Prizes
The total prize pool amounts to 44,550 USDT, distributed by track:
- Nostromo Track
- 1st place: free launch on Nostromo (worth up to 16,000 USDT), mentorship, visibility + 2,500 USDT
- 2nd place: discounted launch, mentorship, visibility + 1,500 USDT
- 3rd place: 1,000 USDT
- EasyConnect Track
- 1st: lifetime Premium EasyConnect subscription, mentorship and 2,500 USDT.
- 2nd: one-year subscription and 1,500 USDT.
- 3rd: 6-month subscription + 1,000 USDT.
In addition, some prizes include visibility within the Qubic ecosystem, and the Nostromo track offers the chance to launch the project on the Qubic Launchpad, which could be a great springboard for teams with ambitions to scale.
Strategic value for Qubic
This hackathon is much more than a competition: it is part of Qubic’s strategy to consolidate its ecosystem. By combining a technical track and a non-technical one, Qubic seeks to:
- Foster adoption of its network, not only by expert developers but also by creators with innovative ideas who don’t know how to code.
- Attract projects that leverage decentralized computing, linked to AI, finance, automation or smart bots.
- Grow its user and developer base ahead of the launch of larger projects or strategic integrations.
- Give visibility to new proposals with the potential to be incubated within the network, thanks to the support and the Launchpad.
Moreover, previous events such as RaiseHack 2025 have already shown that Qubic can mobilize hundreds of developers and generate a solid flow of ideas.
Why should it interest the Territorio Blockchain community?
For readers of Territorio Blockchain Magazine, this hackathon represents several attractive opportunities:
- Actively participate in a blockchain project with distributed computing ambitions, beyond the usual DeFi applications.
- Contribute to solutions that integrate AI and blockchain, exploring an increasingly relevant field.
- Learn about no-code and automation in Web3, especially with tools like EasyConnect, lowering the barrier to entry.
- Gain visibility and prizes, and potentially launch a real project on Qubic.
Conclusion and call to action
The Qubic “Hack the Future” hackathon is a platform to build, innovate and connect with a Web3 ecosystem of decentralized computing and AI. Whether you are a developer, entrepreneur or no-code creator, you have a real opportunity to leave your mark on a project that could shape part of the future of useful decentralization.
