More than just a hackathon, NottsHack 2026 was also a chance to hear from the students behind the campus experience. 🎤 Through “Open Innovation Powered by DCAI,” we spoke with students about their academic backgrounds, daily expenses, and perspectives on AI — including whether they use AI tools and how these technologies are shaping their lives today. Real student voices, real perspectives, and a meaningful look at how the next generation is engaging with innovation. 🌐🚀

A huge congratulations to the winning teams of NottsHack 2026! 🏆 DCAI was honored to officially sponsor and power one of the hackathon tracks — “Open Innovation Powered by DCAI.” Congratulations to the Top 3 teams selected from the Grand Finals, whose outstanding ideas, execution, and builder spirit truly stood out.

Throwback to NottsHack 2026 ⚡ DCAI was proud to officially sponsor and power one of the hackathon tracks — fueling builders, ideas, and the future of Web3. Let’s explore the journey together.

The Mid-Week Grind (April 9–12) 🕯️ Hackathons like NottsHack kept dev activity high. While BTC peaked at $73,079 on April 11, we saw a healthy -3.2% profit-taking dip on the 12th. Takeaway: ETH led the pack ( 12.7%), showing major strength in the smart-contract ecosystem. 📈

Big energy at @UoNMalaysia 🇲🇾 last Sunday for the student hackathon at NottsHack 2026! Our Director of Global Affairs @jg13nn tuned in virtually for a live judging of our top 10 project teams, and 3 emerged victorious. Well done to our winners. 🏆 Scatterly: verifiable, decentralized AI compute powered by on-chain settlement to enable low-cost AI infrastructure for all 🏆 Credit Capsule: programmable micro-credit for the underserved, using on-chain audit trails to enable fair, purpose-bound lending 🏆 Decentralized Voting System: transparent, tamper-resistant voting with verifiable on-chain records Bold ideas for real-world impact. The student builders have proved they know just how #blockchain can solve what's critical in the world. We back students because they’re not just the future. They already have the minds and passion to build it. #BGAHackathon #BGA

🔥Full recording now available: NottsHack 2026 DASH Workshop! @SamWestrich dives deep into the future of Dash Platform: GroveDB (Merkle forest on steroids), powerful on-chain SQL-like queries with full cryptographic proofs, instant finality, and real dApps like Yapper already running on-chain with no middlemen. Decentralized data you can actually trust? Smart contracts on the horizon? Builders, this is your moment. Dash is shipping fast in 2026. Who's building with us? 👇
