Pleb.fi Miami is a 24-hour bitcoin hackathon! The theme for this event is “metaprotocols”, which are frameworks that extend bitcoin’s functionality on layer 1. Topics will include Runes, BRC20, Alkanes, and Taproot Assets. Come network with local bitcoin companies and developers. We’re also offering $6,000 in cash prizes across three tracks!
There will be a 24 hour hackathon sprint starting after the workshops (please sleep tho) for plebs to build and showcase innovative ideas for the bitcoin ecosystem. If you don’t have any ideas yet, the workshops will most definitely give you some inspiration. 💡
Key dates:
- Sat July 26th morning-day: workshops + talks
- Sat July 26th evening: hackathon kickoff
- Sun July 27th morning: hackathon
- Sun July 27th afternoon: hackathon judging & demos

Basic Rules
Must be New
No cheating allowed – while it’s OK if your submission is part of a larger project or ecosystem, the point is to try out new things and explore. There’s no firm rule here – we’ll know cheating when we see it, and disqualify at our discretion. When in doubt, ask an organizer if your project is in the spirit of the event.
Teams
Teams can have 3-4 members. Form them with your friends ahead of time or with people that you meet during workshops. You can also join the tg channel after you purchase a tix.
To make the event more inclusive, you can have one ‘remote only’ teammate, just let us know in advance who they are. In the spirit of getting real remote participants, we encourage remotes to be e.g. 2 hours+ away from Miami (if you see them during the event in person it’s a disqualifier).
How to win
BUIDL A THING IN THE METAPROTOCOL UNIVERSE AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY!
We’re going to specifically evaluate on the following categories:
- did you learn something new that others can learn from?
- how meta is your metaprotocol project?
- is it cool?
Therefore, hackathon submissions should include:
- overview of the project
- demo
- summary of new things you’ve learned during the hackathon
