Description

FAIR3 Fairness Hackathon

Rewriting the Rules of Creation

Welcome to the first FAIR3 Hackathon—a call to builders, rebels, dreamers, and decentralists. This is not just a competition. It’s a movement to rewrite the very rules of creation.


Why This Matters

FAIR3 was born from a simple belief: True innovation shouldn't be stifled by unfair systems.

In a world dominated by black-box algorithms, platform monopolies, and the slow erosion of creator value, FAIR3 is rallying teams and builders to co-create a new system:

  • Rebuilding transparent algorithmic boundaries, not tolerating opaque control

  • Returning true data ownership to users, not platforms

  • Designing sustainable income mechanisms for individuals, not passive replacement

We build for those like Wang Xin (QVOD), Shawn Fanning (Napster), and the Tornado Cash developers—visionaries who challenged the system too early and sparked waves of change. Some were misunderstood, some pushed to the margins, some became symbols of unfinished revolutions. But their ideas live on.

This time, we build together—with and through the FAIR3 community.

Wang Xin—founder of QVOD and a pioneer of P2P video technology—is now a core member of FAIR3’s CTO circle. In his words:

"All open-source projects are trying to answer the same question: How can humans collaborate without bosses?"

FAIR3's answer: through verifiable fairness, consensus-based narrative, and emergent community systems.

We're not trying to manage people—but enable people to invent their own rules. — Wang Xin on Twitter


The 4 Core Problems

  1. Algorithm Transparency: If algorithms define our fate, how much choice do we really have?

  2. Data Sovereignty: Who defines you—your actions or the platforms that own your data?

  3. Sustainable Individual Income: In a world run by AI, what keeps humans economically alive?

  4. Equal Alpha Access (with UnicornX): What if trading opportunities were a public good?


Main Track Awards

Total Prize Pool: 18,000 USD worth of FAIR3 tokens
9 winning projects will each receive 2,000 USD worth of FAIR3.

There are no fixed themes. If your project touches on "tech fairness," you're in. We welcome anything that translates the spirit of fairness into protocols, tools, community mechanisms, or expressive formats.

Suggested directions (not limited to):

  • Algorithm transparency & explainability

  • Data sovereignty & privacy protection

  • Sustainable income models in the AI era

  • Creator-owned infrastructure beyond platforms

  • Reputation, identity & governance mechanisms

  • Public narratives and memetic engines

  • Innovative interactions combining AI and Web3

Projects will be judged on originality, practicality, impact, and relevance to the fairness theme.


FAIR3 Community Awards

Total Prize Pool: 10,000 USD worth of FAIR3 tokens
4 awards, each receiving 2,500 USD worth of FAIR3.

These awards honor projects that directly support the FAIR3 ecosystem. We’re seeking long-term collaborators committed to building the future of FAIR3.

Categories include (but are not limited to):

  • Best Recycle System: Project reusability, scoring, and relaunch mechanisms

  • Best Infrastructure Module: Governance UI, task boards, proposal systems, narrative tools

  • Best Community UX Design: Smoother onboarding, collaboration enhancements

  • Best Reputation & Metrics Mechanism: Quantifiable contribution scoring, trust & incentive systems

These awards can be won in addition to the main track prizes.


UnicornX Special Award

1 award, 2,000 USD worth of FAIR3 tokens

Honoring the most impactful project championing fair, community-driven, win-win growth within the UnicornX ecosystem — a decentralized trading platform where opportunity is shared, and value is created together.

Potential directions:

  • Tools that empower communities to trade smarter, together

  • AI-enhanced features like wallet analytics, signal routing, or market anomaly detection

  • Integrations with UnicornX that promote fair access, governance participation, or on-chain collaboration

This award can be combined with other prizes and encourages builders who embrace transparency, fairness, and shared value.


After the Hackathon

Most hackathons end with demos. FAIR3 begins there:

  • Winners enter the Recycle incubation track

  • Teams earn governance rights & identity NFT

  • FAIR3 integrates selected projects into its ecosystem


Who Should Join?

  • Web3 & AI devs, designers, researchers

  • DAO contributors, meme-makers, narrative builders

  • Public goods defenders and decentralized dreamers

FAIR3 技术公平黑客松

重写创造的规则

欢迎来到首届 FAIR3 技术公平黑客松——向建设者、反叛者、梦想家和去中心化信徒发出的召集。这不仅是一场比赛,而是一场旨在重写创造规则的运动。


我们为何而战

FAIR3 源于一个简单的信念:真正的创新不应该被不公平的制度扼杀。

在黑箱算法、平台垄断和创作者价值日渐流失的世界里,FAIR3 正在号召一批志同道合的团队共同重构这套系统:

  • 重建透明算法的边界,而非任由黑箱操控

  • 赋予用户真正的数据所有权,而非平台垄断

  • 探索面向未来的可持续个体盈利机制,而非被动等待被替代

我们致敬王欣(快播)、Shawn Fanning(Napster)以及 Tornado Cash 的开发者——这些早早挑战旧秩序、引发变革浪潮的先行者。他们曾被误解、被边缘化,甚至成为未竟革命的象征,但他们的理念仍在延续。

这一次,我们与 FAIR3 社区共同建设未来。

王欣——快播创始人、点对点视频技术的先驱——现为 FAIR3 CTO 核心成员之一。他在推文中写道:

“所有开源项目都在回答同一个问题:人类如何在没有老板的情况下协作?”

FAIR3 的回答是:通过可验证的公正、基于共识的叙事,以及长出来的社区制度。

我们不是要管理一群人,而是要让一群人自己发明规则。——王欣的推特


四大核心问题

  1. 算法透明性:如果命运由算法决定,我们还能掌控什么?

  2. 数据主权:谁在定义你,数据是武器还是工具?

  3. 个体可持续盈利:工作被 AI 替代后,我们靠什么生存?

  4. Alpha 平权(与 UnicornX 合作):交易机会应属于谁?


主赛道奖项

总奖金:等值 18,000 USD 的 FAIR3 代币
共计 9 个获奖项目,每项奖励:2,000 USD 等值 FAIR3

本轮黑客松不设主题限制,只要你的项目关注“技术公平”,都可以参赛。我们欢迎任何将“公平”理念转化为协议、工具、社区机制、表达形式的探索。

参考方向(不限于此):

  • 算法透明性与可解释性

  • 数据主权与隐私保护

  • AI 时代的个体可持续收入模型

  • 去平台化的创作基础设施

  • 声誉、身份与治理机制设计

  • 公共话语与叙事引擎

  • AI 与 Web3 的创新交互方式

评审标准包括:原创性、实用性、影响力、与技术公平主题的契合度。


FAIR3 社区特别奖

总奖金:等值 10,000 USD 的 FAIR3 代币
共设 4 个奖项,每项奖励:2,500 USD 等值 FAIR3

这部分奖励将授予那些直接推动 FAIR3 生态系统建设的项目。我们寻找不仅关注公平理念,更愿意参与共同打造的长期合作者。

奖项方向包括(不限于):

  • 最佳 Recycle 系统设计奖:构建项目复用、评分机制、再孵化流程

  • 最佳基础模块奖:治理界面、任务墙、提案系统、叙事工具等

  • 最佳社区体验设计奖:优化协作流程、降低参与门槛、增强共创体验

  • 最佳声誉与指标机制奖:可量化的社区贡献度量、激励与信任系统

此类奖项可与主赛道奖项叠加获得。


UnicornX 特别奖

共 1 项奖项,奖励为 2,000 USD 等值 FAIR3

表彰在 UnicornX 生态中,最能体现公平、社区驱动、共赢增长精神的项目。UnicornX 是一个去中心化交易平台,致力于让优质交易机会为更多用户共享,实现平台与交易者的共同成长。

参考方向:

  • 赋能社区共同决策的交易工具

  • 基于 AI 的钱包追踪、信号路由或市场异常识别功能

  • 与 UnicornX 生态深度集成,如治理参与、代币效用或交易基础设施建设

本奖项可与其他奖项叠加获得,旨在鼓励那些推动“透明、公平、共赢”的建设者,共同打造真正属于社区的价值网络。
