Build for the World Cup on Solana: $50,000 TxODDS Hackathon Announced

๐ŸŒ The World Cup Hackathon on Solana

The World Cup is coming, and with it comes a new opportunity for builders in the Solana ecosystem.

TxODDS has announced a World Cup-focused hackathon with a $50,000 prize pool for developers who want to build applications powered by real-time football data on Solana.

Whether you're interested in prediction markets, AI agents, or fan engagement products, this hackathon is a chance to turn an idea into a working on-chain product.


๐Ÿ’ฐ Prize Pool

The total prize pool of $50,000 USD is distributed across three tracks:


๐Ÿ† Prediction Markets and Settlement โ€” $18,000

Build markets, settlement systems, oracle tooling, or on-chain verification systems powered by official match data.

Examples:

  • Match outcome prediction markets
  • Automated settlement systems
  • Sports oracle infrastructure
  • On-chain proof of match results

๐Ÿค– Trading Tools and Agents โ€” $16,000

Create autonomous agents that consume live odds and match data, detect opportunities, and execute strategies automatically.

Examples:

  • AI trading agents for sports markets
  • Signal detection systems
  • Automated betting/strategy engines
  • Real-time analytics tools

๐ŸŽฎ Consumer and Fan Experiences โ€” $16,000

Build fan-facing applications that use live World Cup data to create engaging experiences.

Examples:

  • Fantasy football platforms
  • Interactive games
  • Social fan engagement apps
  • Real-time score experiences
  • Community prediction games

โšก Why This Hackathon Matters

What makes this event interesting is its focus on real-time data applications.

All projects are expected to integrate TxODDSโ€™ live football API, enabling applications that react instantly to match events as they happen.

Combined with Solanaโ€™s low fees and fast finality, this opens the door to experiences that are difficult to build on slower networks.

  • Individuals
  • Teams
  • Companies

Team size: 1โ€“3 members

Teams may participate in multiple tracks, but each submission must be a separate project.
