Boundless × Trustless Work Hackathon

Boundless is teaming up with Trustless Work for a 4-day hybrid hackathon: 3 days of virtual building, 1 day of in-person demos.

You'll ship products that use Trustless Work primitives, non-custodial, milestone-based escrow for stablecoins, where funds only move when predefined conditions are met.

Format

• May 13 to May 15 (virtual): kickoff, workshops, build, office hours
• May 16 (physical): Demo Day at The Block Hive (25 University Road, Nsukka, Enugu State)
• Open to teams and individuals worldwide. The physical demo day is optional but encouraged for those who can attend.

What you can build
Pick one specific product. Do not build a generic escrow platform.

• Marketplaces and e-commerce escrow
• Freelance and milestone-based contract platforms
• Grants, bounties, and DAO funding tools
• Crowdfunding and pre-order platforms
• Security deposits for rentals, equipment, or events
• P2P stablecoin exchanges and OTC desks
• Trade finance and cross-border commerce flows
• Microfinance and transparent capital allocation
• AI-agent payment coordination

Tracks

• Core Trustless Work Applications: products that directly use Trustless Work primitives for coordination, payments, or task execution.
• Open Innovation: wildcard ideas that push escrow into new directions.

Integration paths

• No-code: BackOffice dApp + Escrow Viewer for concept validation
• Blocks SDK: prebuilt escrow UI components for fast MVPs
• React SDK or REST API: full custom integrations

AI-native tooling
Use the AI-Optimized Docs, Trustless Work Skill, Vibe Coding guides, and the MCP server with Cursor or Claude to move faster.

Strong projects clearly answer: what trust problem are you solving, who are the parties, what condition unlocks the funds, and who resolves disputes. The best demos show the live escrow state in the Escrow Viewer.
