BNB Chain’s “Good Vibes Only” Hackathon Opens to Builders of All Skill Levels
Dubai, UAE, January 22nd, 2026, Chainwire
BNB Chain today announced the launch of Good Vibes Only, an eight-day, fully online, build-in-public hackathon designed to empower builders of all experience levels. Running from January 22 to January 29, the event encourages participants to publicly share ideas, progress, and demos on X and GitHub, while using AI tools to accelerate development and collaboration.
By enabling the use of AI-assisted coding tools, the ‘Good Vibes Only’ hackathon lowers the barrier to entry, allowing both experienced developers and newcomers to experiment, learn, and ship projects in a short time frame.
Participants will build across a range of creative and socially driven tracks, including:
- Bears Be Gone – Tools to help users survive the crypto winter
- Make CT Useable Again – Apps that improve crypto social experiences
- Clone Yourself – Digital twins and mirrored identities
- Sanity Check – Mental health, burnout prevention, and focus tools
- Touching Grass – Technology that encourages offline balance
- WFH, But Better – Remote work and async collaboration tools
Builders may also propose new tracks, with additional sponsored tracks to be announced as new partners join. Each winning project will receive $1,000, with the total prize pool expected to grow as sponsors are added.
The Good Vibes Only Hackathon is open to participants worldwide. More information and registration details are available in the official blog post [link].
