Hey there, crypto enthusiasts and blockchain builders! If you’re in or around Kerala, India, you’re in for a treat. The BNB Chain is hosting BNB Hack Kerala 2025, a massive 30-hour in-person hackathon set for July 19–20 in Kochi. This isn’t just any coding event—it’s Kerala’s biggest Web3 hackathon, packed with $100,000+ in rewards! Co-hosted with Fluxor and supported by Web3 Kerala, this event is calling all developers, designers, and innovators to dive into the future of decentralized tech. Let’s break it down and see why you should jump in!

What’s BNB Hack Kerala All About?

Imagine a space where you can build cutting-edge projects using BNB Chain, the popular blockchain platform known for its speed and scalability. This hackathon focuses on four exciting tracks:

• AI: Think DeFi bots, on-chain AI agents, or analytics tools that leverage artificial intelligence.
• DeSoc (Decentralized Social)​: Create decentralized identity systems, social graphs, or even DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations).
• DeSci (Decentralized Science)​: Develop tools for open science, research collaboration, or data reproducibility.
• DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks)​: Build IoT networks or tokenize real-world assets like sensors.

With 30 hours of intense building, you’ll have the chance to turn your ideas into reality, all while networking with top mentors and the BNB team. Plus, the recent Maxwell upgrade to BNB Chain—cutting block times to 0.75 seconds—means faster transactions, making it a perfect time to experiment!

Who Can Join the Fun?

This event is open to a wide crowd, so don’t feel left out! Whether you’re:

• A student (B.Tech, M.Tech, or PhD),
• A Web2 or Web3 developer,
• Part of a startup team or an indie hacker,
• An AI/ML engineer or enthusiast,
• Or even a designer with a creative spark,

…you’re welcome to register! Teams are encouraged, so grab your friends or find teammates via the BNB Chain Indian Community on Telegram.
