WHY THIS ROUTE
Block Party fits public goods, social impact or real world tracks, and a working, deployed app is a strong start. Many events only allow new code or require you to say what existed before, so check each event's rule on existing code.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE
Entered two hackathons within 3 months with a clearly scoped new feature, and placed in or got judge feedback from at least one.

NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. Open the Regatta Board and shortlist 3 events

30 min

Go to /hackathons on DEPLOYR, filter for Base and public goods, social impact or real world tracks. Write each event's dates, tracks, prize pool and its rule on existing code.

2. Check the existing code rule, in writing

20 min

Read the rules page. If it is unclear, ask the organizers directly. If existing projects are not allowed, plan to build a new module or a fresh version and disclose what you reused.

FIRST MESSAGE · EVENT DISCORD OR EMAIL · TO THE HACKATHON ORGANIZERS

Hi, I own Block Party, an existing app on Base. For this event I'd build [new feature] as new code during the hackathon. Is that allowed, and how should I disclose the existing parts?

3. Scope one feature you can finish in the event

45 min

Pick one feature judges can see in a 2 minute demo that makes Block Party clearly better for neighbourhoods, tenant groups and street committees. Write the demo script before you write code.

4. Find one teammate

20 min

Post in the event's team channel with what you have and what you need (designer, contract dev, writer).

FIRST MESSAGE · HACKATHON TEAM CHANNEL · TO OTHER PARTICIPANTS

Building on Block Party (runs a neighbourhood treasury where spending unlocks only after enough real neighbours check in at the spot with a rotating QR code). Looking for one [designer / dev] for [track]. I have the base app live and a clear demo plan. DM me.

5. Submit with a clean demo and ask for feedback

90 min

Record a 2 minute video, write what is new versus existing, and submit early. After judging, ask one judge for two lines of feedback.
