BasedAI Hackathons

This is the public home for hackathon tracks sponsored by BasedAI. Each event lives in its own directory, and participants submit their projects here via Pull Request.

⚠️ This is a public repository. Never commit secrets — API keys, .env files, and especially crypto wallet private keys or seed phrases. See SECURITY.md.

How submissions work

We use a PR-per-team model:

1. Fork this repository.
2. Copy the event's submissions/_TEMPLATE/ folder to submissions/<your-team-name>/.
3. Add your project there and open a Pull Request into main.

Your PR should only touch files inside your own team folder. Full instructions are in CONTRIBUTING.md, and event-specific rules (bounty, deadline, judging) are in each event's README.
