Description
ChainHack 2026
Build the Future of Industrial 5.0 with AI × Web3
Join developers, founders, designers, students, AI engineers, and innovators from across Southeast Asia to build practical AI and Web3 applications for real-world impact.
ChainHack 2026 / NeuralLedger 5.0 is focused on Industrial 5.0 — the next phase of innovation where humans, AI, automation, blockchain, cloud infrastructure, and digital economies work together to create smarter, safer, and more sustainable systems.
Whether you are joining your first hackathon or building your next startup, this hackathon gives you the mentorship, resources, ecosystem support, and community to turn your ideas into working prototypes.
No blockchain experience required.
Web2 developers, AI builders, startup founders, students, and first-time hackers are welcome.
Main Theme
Industrial 5.0
Build solutions that support:
Human-centric innovation
AI-powered productivity
Smarter business and industrial workflows
Sustainable and resilient systems
Digital finance and settlement
