[PRESS RELEASE – Toronto, Canada, May 15th, 2025]Metis, a trailblazer in Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, today announced HyperHack, a three-month hackathon designed to showcase the transformative power of Hyperion, its AI-optimized, high-performance blockchain. Kicking off on May 15, 2025, starting with the Ideathon, HyperHack invites developers worldwide to build and stress-test decentralized applications (dApps) leveraging Hyperion’s real-time parallel execution, on-chain AI integration, and ultra-high throughput. With $200,000 in prizes, mentorship, and incubation opportunities, HyperHack is set to redefine the future of AI-native Web3 innovation.HyperHack follows the recent launch of Hyperion’s Testnet on May 6, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in Metis’ “ReGenesis” vision to empower decentralized AI. Through structured phases, Applications & Ideathon, Build & Battle-Test Sprint, and Judging & Wrap-Up, participants will collaborate with the Metis community, access cutting-edge resources, and push Hyperion’s infrastructure to its limits, paving the way for the mainnet launch in August 2025.“HyperHack is our call to developers to shape human-driven decentralized AI” said Natalia Ameline, Metis Foundation Decentralization Coordinator. “Hyperion’s AI-native infrastructure is ready to be tested. We’re not only validating our technological vision but actively shaping the future of decentralized AI blockchain with our community.”Structured into three clearly defined phases, HyperHack first engages participants in an Ideathon from May 15 to June 1, through the Metis Forum, where teams share and refine project ideas through community feedback and workshops. Participants then build and rigorously stress-test dApps on the Hyperion testnet (May 30–August 7), supported by developer resources and micro-grants. Selected projects undergo intensive public stress testing to evaluate real-world performance. Final judging (August 7–16) will reward the most innovative and resilient dApps with $200,000 in total prizes, incubation opportunities, and investor visibility.HyperHack submissions are grouped into three categories to promote participation. The first focuses on AI-Native and Core-Aligned applications like decentralized AI platforms and on-chain inference systems. The second emphasizes Real-Time Systems for ultra-low-latency blockchain use cases, including decentralized exchanges and gaming. Lastly, the third category involves Classic Web3 infrastructure and tools designed to improve interoperability, security, and scalability across the blockchain ecosystem.Developers and blockchain enthusiasts interested in participating can apply via the Metis Forum on the Metis Forum by June 1, 2025. Detailed developer resources, including technical documentation and project templates, are available at the official Metis developer site (https://docs.metis.io/hyperion) and GitHub repository (https://github.com/MetisProtocol).For more information and to apply, users can visit the HyperHack Forum directly at: https://forum.ceg.vote/c/hyperion/hyperhackAbout MetisMetis is more than a Layer 2 – it is a multi-network ecosystem powered by the groundbreaking MetisSDK. Metis is building the future of decentralized infrastructure with a dual-network architecture: Andromeda for secure, general-purpose dApps and Hyperion for high-performance, AI-optimized execution. Both chains interoperate seamlessly, enabling builders to deploy scalable, efficient, and intelligent Web3 applications across sectors such as DeFi, gaming, DEPIN and AI.The post Metis Launches HyperHack With $200K Reward Pool: An AI-Driven Web3 Hackathon on Hyperion appeared first on CryptoPotato.
