Hackathons With Prizes You Can Verify
HackVillage lists hackathons in Nairobi, across Kenya, Africa-wide and fully online: fintech, agri-tech, civic tech, clean energy, AI and more. A hackathon appears here only after its organizer has deposited 100% of the prize pool into escrow and earned the Prize Verified badge. Winners are paid 50% within an hour of results and 50% on milestone delivery, with every payout recorded on a public ledger.
