Open Run Asia 2025
Open Run Asia 2025 – Build, Break, and Solve Real Problems with Blockchain
Dates: September 23rd – December 17th, 2025
Location: Online (Asia-focused)
Prize Pool: $15,000+
What is Open Run Asia?
Open Run Asia 2025 is not your typical hackathon. It’s a three-month-long builder’s playground for developers who want to create real-world impact using blockchain, AI, automation, and any tool that gets the job done.
Forget buzzwords and hype — this is about building solutions that actually solve problems in payments, tokenization, decentralized compute, and beyond.
With over $15K in prizes, mentorship, and exposure to industry leaders, this hackathon is your chance to learn, ship, and showcase what you can build.
What You’ll Be Building
There are two main tracks wide open for creativity:
1. 402 Payment Required | Payments & Tokenization
-
Rethink digital payments with blockchain-based models.
-
Explore smart contracts, asset-backed tokens, DeFi integrations, and seamless on-chain transactions.
-
Build services that unlock content or services after micropayments — imagine a real monetization protocol directly in HTTP!
2. 426 Upgrade Required | The Autonomous M2M Economy
-
Design solutions where machines pay and talk to each other.
-
Use M2M protocols like MQTT, CoAP, DDS with blockchain as the source of truth for value, data, and identity.
-
Think IoT, autonomous systems, and machine-to-machine payments.
Prizes
-
🥇 1st Place: $7,000
-
🥈 2nd Place: $3,000
-
🥉 3rd Place: $2,000
-
🏅 Track Awards (Community-voted): $1,000 each
Plus: visibility, collaborations, mentorship, and maybe even job opportunities (because people are watching 👀).
