The hackathon is primarily online, with registration and submissions managed through DoraHacks. To support ideation and collaboration, Aptos Foundation and some ecosystem partners are hosting a variety of events globally and online. Attending side events is not required to participate in Code Collision or be eligible for a Prize.

Code Jams are casual meetups for developers to collaborate, brainstorm, and innovate through hands-on workshops and networking. In contrast, Code Stations are structured co-working environments that offer focused development time, support sessions, and interactive learning activities. Both types of events provide opportunities to connect with fellow developers and push your projects forward.

To request a Code Jam or Code Station in your city, please fill out the request form available on our website. If your proposal is approved, you will receive a grant to host the event. This support will help you organize and facilitate the gathering, bringing the Code Collision experience to your local developer community.

Participants have access to a comprehensive developer guide along with the Aptos Developer Docs to aid in the development of their hackathon project, whether you’re a new developer, new to Aptos, or a seasoned builder.

These resources are designed to support you throughout the hackathon, regardless of your current skill level with Move.
