The kit is being prepared for the UNN event (late January 2027). The participant and organizer pages work today. Tooling that doesn’t exist yet, such as the AI agent workshop, is marked on its page.
Who it’s for
- Participants. Students and developers who know some JavaScript and have heard of Ethereum, but may never have deployed a contract.
- Mentors and workshop leads. People running setup and build sessions during the event.
- Organizers. Anyone planning a BOT Chain hackathon: funding wallets, judging and checking submissions.
Why a kit
Hackathon time disappears into setup: installing tools, finding a faucet, adding a network to a wallet, working out why a deploy failed. The kit puts the answers in one place so teams spend their time building. Everything runs on BOT Chain testnet, so nobody needs real money.How a team uses it
- Work through the day-one checklist before or at the start of the event.
- Pick an idea from the example tracks.
- Start from a template if one fits.
- Read the submission requirements early, so you know what you’re aiming for.
