Overview
MUBA Hack 2026 is presented as Malaysia's first large-scale, student-led hackathon specifically focused on Web3 technologies. The event will take place online from August 26 to September 6, 2026. The hackathon structure involves participants forming teams, selecting specific 'sponsor tracks' such as Stablecoins or DeFi, and then developing functional prototypes. These prototypes must leverage real-world APIs and SDKs provided by the sponsors. The competition culminates with teams pitching their completed projects live to a panel of judges. These judges are nominated by the sponsors for each specific track, and they will evaluate the projects to determine the winners of the respective prize pools. Overall, the hackathon is designed as a competitive and fast-paced environment to inspire Malaysian students, developers, and blockchain/Web3 enthusiasts to innovate and create the next generation of blockchain applications.
