​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

• Real-world assets and blockchain infrastructure

The goal is not just to build another demo.
The goal is to build something useful, practical, and capable of becoming a real product, startup, pilot, or ecosystem project.
