🎉 It’s On! The 2026 New Year Challenge — Registration Is Now Open! ✅
For the next 10 days, developers from around the world will be contributing real code to five projects, tackling practical problems across the agent and AI infrastructure stack.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to finally build, integrate, or improve something meaningful — this is it.
🌐 Jump in & see all challenges: memu.pro/hackathon
🔧 Choose where you want to build 🔧
Each project runs its own challenge, with independent tasks, rules, and rewards:
🧠 MemU — Improve long-term memory systems for AI agents → PRs, integrations, workflow experiments, and memory optimizations @memU_ai
🤝 OpenAgents — Turn agent collaboration into real, usable systems → Build agent networks, workflows, and practical use cases @OpenAgentsAI
🧩 Sealos — Ship applications that actually run in the cloud → Full-stack apps, infra setups, and agent deployments @Sealos_io
⚙️ TEN Framework — Work on the foundations of agent frameworks → Core fixes, extensions, and framework-level improvements @TenFramework
🚀 Zeabur — Go from idea to live product, fast → Production-ready deployments with one-click shipping @zeaburapp
You can focus on one track or explore multiple. You can work solo. And every meaningful contribution counts where it belongs.
This isn’t about demos or pitch decks — it’s about shipping, learning, and leaving a footprint in real projects.

1 day to go🎉
The 2026 New Year Challenge — 5 Projects United Hackathon kicks off tomorrow 🚀
Ten days. Five projects. Win $3,000💰
Task difficulty spans multiple levels — from tests and documentation, to use case design and feature development, and up to advanced challenges. There are also open-ended tracks if you want to explore your own ideas and propose something new.
This year, five open-source projects are united — each with its own focus and challenge track:
🧠 MemU PR Hackathon — Build the memory layer for next-gen AI agents. @memU_ai Fix bugs, add features, build integrations, and improve contributor docs. Every merged PR earns points, recognition, and memU credits.
🤝 OpenAgents PR Hackathon — Build real-world agent networks and practical use cases. @OpenAgentsAI Explore collaborative agent systems and solve real problems with creative agent workflows.
🧩 Sealos Run Wild Hackathon — Ship real, living applications in the cloud. @Sealos_io From full-stack apps on Sealos to memU-powered agents in Devbox — code, deploy, and conquer.
⚙️ TEN Framework PR Hackathon — Contribute to the agent framework layer. @TenFramework Fix bugs, add extensions, and improve documentation to help shape the framework itself.
🚀 Zeabur Ship It Hackathon — From idea to production, fast. @zeaburapp Deploy production-ready apps using Zeabur AI Hub and one-click deployment — ship something real in days, not weeks.
Whether you’re new to these projects or a long-time contributor — backend, infra, workflows, or docs — there’s a clear path to make real impact.
Use today to explore the repos, run things locally, and decide where you want to contribute.
🗓️ We start Jan 8 at 00:00 PT.

这个比赛看起来不错!
正好最近的新项目getpaid.page(帮助出海创作者0门槛全球收款)已经非常容易的部署在@zeaburapp ,另外三个赞助方了解了一下:
@insforge AI/Agent 用的「Supabase」,一站搞定数据库、鉴权、存储和函数,让模型/Agent 容易读写你的数据。
@digitalocean 便宜好用版的「AWS」,给服务器、数据库、对象存储这些底层基础设施。
@OpenAgentsAI 搭建「一群 AI 代理一起干活」的框架,让多个 Agent 协同完成任务。
We're sponsoring a holiday AI hackathon!
3 hours to build. $1K cash prize.
VCs, Angel investors, YC advisors, and startup founders are judging.
We're giving direct job referrals to top hackers.
→ Code with unlimited AI credits
