Keep the compiled file smaller than 16kb
Dedicated workshops and resources will be made available to help you learn, answer questions, and increase your chances to win.

About the Hackathon

This Hackathon challenges developers, artists, and blockchain enthusiasts to push creative and technical boundaries by transforming Shaders into NFTs on the V Systems chain.

Shaders — dynamic, real-time rendering programs — have long been used in gaming, animation, and interactive media. Now, with the power of blockchain, we’re taking them to the next level by minting them as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), enabling true ownership, provenance, and decentralized trading.

Participants will explore V Systems’ high-performance blockchain, leveraging its unique NFT framework to tokenize and distribute Shaders in innovative ways. Whether you’re a shader artist, a game developer, or a WebGL expert, this is your chance to build, experiment, and redefine digital ownership in the Web3 space.

What to Expect

Four Specialized Tracks
On the event’s start date, we will unveil four dedicated tracks that will guide participants in developing shaders tailored to different use cases. These themes will spark creativity and innovation, encouraging developers to experiment with blockchain-rendered graphics.

$12,000 Prize Pool
Top projects will be highlighted across the V Systems ecosystem, offering exposure and potential funding opportunities.
Participants will also compete for prizes ranging from $500 to $1,000, with four winners for each theme track:

Top Prize: $1000
Best Visuals: $750
Best Tech: $750
Community Vote: $500

Resources and Workshops

We have listed some of the key resources to learn more about WebGL, RUST, and the V Systems chain. We will also host dedicated workshops to introduce the Hackathon and answer any tech questions.

On-Chain Deployment
Unlike traditional Shader competitions, all submissions will be uploaded onto the V Systems blockchain, ensuring decentralization, transparency, and immutability.

The projects will be displayed on the V Systems Marketplace, an NFT Marketplace to trade NFTs created on the V Systems blockchain.

Community and Networking
Developers will engage with fellow blockchain enthusiasts, collaborate, and showcase their technical prowess while pushing the boundaries of on-chain visual experiences.

V Hackathon: Retro Going Forward!

You’ve probably noticed our hackathon website feels like it came straight out of the early internet days — and that’s intentional.

Visit the official V Hackathon website at https://hackathon.v.systems/

Our blockchain was founded by Sunny King, the creator of the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism — the system now used by Ethereum and most modern blockchains for its eco-friendly alternative to Bitcoin’s energy-intensive Proof of Work.

But V Systems isn’t just about blockchain infrastructure — we also help traditional industries adopt blockchain for greater efficiency. With enterprise projects across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, we’re working on real-world blockchain adoption beyond just crypto hype.

So, we thought: Why not blend these ideas?
💾 A nostalgic, retro aesthetic — because today’s cutting-edge tech will one day feel vintage.
🖥️ Complex graphics and NFTs — because Shaders push the boundaries of visual computing.
🕹️ We simply like it! — because, let’s be honest, retro web aesthetics are cool.

Pushing Blockchain Graphics to New Heights
The Hackathon is hosted in collaboration with a long-standing community of developers that has been running hackathons since the early 2010s — Gamedev.js!

Our partnership with Gamedev.js represents a groundbreaking step in merging blockchain technology with high-performance graphics. By enabling developers to experiment with on-chain Shaders, we aim to unlock new frontiers in decentralized gaming, digital art, and next-generation visual applications.

Mark your calendars for 13–26 April 2025 and get ready to unleash your creativity!

K8s containerization - Product testing for feedback

V_Systems — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 09:11:24 +0000

V Systems is looking for devs to test its newest product, VKube, a K8s-based containerization platform.

6 months of free containerization
$10-20 in USDT after feedback submission
Start testing VKube: https://forms.gle/HhBxDSYJmpu4nyA96

VKube is a Kubernetes-based container service for developers and enterprises to run containerized applications on the cloud. It costs from $0.002/hr (pay-per-hour) and $1.8/month, paid with crypto (VSYS) or PayPal.

VKube is the latest creation of the team of developers at V Systems. We built it to work around some pain points we found when using some of the cloud services currently available: expensive and/or dormant subscriptions, redundant dashboards, and low cost-effectiveness.

This is why we decided to develop our in-house container service. We're now looking for testers to review it and provide feedback to help us improve it.

About VKube

Flexible and customizable
VKube allows developers to choose exactly what, how, and for how long they want to deploy their applications. On VKube, services can be deployed on an hourly basis

Pay only for what you use
We enabled micropayments by using VSYS coins instead of credit card payments or subscriptions (as most other services do). This means that you can also use VKube to deploy short-term services (from 0.002 USD per hour) to learn or test new features, without needing to subscribe to any platform.

Convenient
The minimum hourly fee on VKube is 0.002 USD, which means that one full month of services can cost less than 2 USD.

Easy-to-use dashboard
The VKube dashboard is easy to navigate and has all the essential functionalities needed to deploy reliable services.
