Core Hacker House India 2025: Builders To Shape Bitcoin DeFi In Bangalore
The world of blockchain is all about building, collaboration, and innovation. And at the heart of it all are the builders – the developers who bring ideas to life and shape the future of the industry. This month, Core Foundation, the entity dedicated to growing the Core network, Bitcoin's first PoS layer, and the largest Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, is bringing a five-day BTCfi and AI Hackathon to Bangalore, India.
Over 400 DeFi and artificial intelligence builders have already applied to participate in the most anticipated hackathon, the Core Hacker House India 2025. This event is designed for the sharpest and brightest minds in Web3, where developers will collaborate and compete to build the most promising Bitcoin DeFi protocols on Core. From March 17-21, 2025, the top builders will go heads-down, refine their ideas, and launch real projects that will shape the future of Bitcoin's first PoS layer.
A High-Energy, Builder-Focused Experience
Core Hacker House India 2025 was designed to be a high-energy, builder-first experience. This event is inspired by the Solana-style hacker house model, allowing Core to deliver an intense, in-person build experience to Bitcoin's first PoS layer. The focus is on collaboration and innovation, where developers can share ideas, learn from each other, and push the boundaries of what's possible with DeFi and AI.
Aside from building new connections and getting potential opportunities to collaborate further, developers will also have hands-on experience on projects centered around BTCfi, AI-driven solutions, and best security practices for smart contracts. The top projects will be given $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000 worth of CORE tokens, with the winning projects showcased at a dedicated event.
A Growing Ecosystem
Bitcoin DeFi is a rapidly expanding ecosystem with over $6 billion in total value locked (TVL). There is proven and increasing growth in adoption across various segments, including lending, borrowing, gaming, and more. The Core blockchain is at the center of this evolution as it emerged as a leader with over $1 billion in TVL and more than 250 decentralized apps (dApps) built for real-world use cases.
As more activity builds up within the ecosystem, momentum is shifting to builders. "DeFi on Bitcoin is inevitable," said prominent blockchain engineer and key Core contributor Rumeel Hussein in a statement shared with International Business Times. "But it won't happen unless the best builders take on the challenge. That's why we're bringing together some of the smartest developers in India and beyond to build what's next," he added.
A Launchpad for Innovation
Core Hacker House India 2025 is set to become a launchpad for the next wave of innovation, bringing together the world's top developers to experiment, launch, and scale BTCfi and AI-powered dApps on Bitcoin's most advanced PoS chain. This event will showcase the potential of DeFi and AI in shaping the future of the industry, and we can't wait to see what the brightest minds in Web3 come up with.
