The hacker house mainly focussed on two areas—Decentralized Science (DeSci) and AI

DeSci: Decentralized research paper publication, decentralized research milestone verification, such as testing result proof generation, etc.
AI: Decentralized data labeling applications, AI agents, AI-powered dApps, etc.

However, the devs were encouraged to explore and build freely, guided by their own research and vision.

Photo Contest Results

The hacker house also had a fun little photo contest. Here are the top 3 winners:
