Applications for Cohort 10 are closed. Applications for Cohort 11 will open in 2027. Exact application dates and program details will be announced later.
Current Cohort 10 participants can access program updates and resources through the Builder Dashboard. The 2026 dates below refer to Cohort 10.
A 12-week, full-time blockchain and AI builder bootcamp run by ShardLab (Hashed's R&D arm). Builders use AI tools and blockchain technology to build and launch production-level blockchain services within a short timeframe, with a strong focus on real-world deployment and market validation.
It is built for builders with proven execution ability who want to ship real products, not just learn.
It is execution-driven and AI-first: you build and launch a real product instead of working through isolated learning tracks.
The program is full-time, runs online and offline across Asia, offers hands-on support from experienced builders, is ecosystem-flexible, and is free of charge.
Both solo builders and teams. We look for execution ability, a clear and realistic blockchain product idea, willingness to use AI tools, and the ability to commit full-time for three months.
It is not designed for idea-only beginners: applicants should have experience building products beyond the idea stage and a track record of completing projects of any scale.
Applicants are evaluated on execution experience, product feasibility, willingness to use AI, and (for teams) team composition.
Both. Teams should have complementary skills and a shared commitment to launch within the timeframe, and are typically 2 to 3 members depending on building mode.
Solo builders can keep building independently or get team-matching support after acceptance.
During recruitment, there is no separate team application. Each member fills out their own application, selects Team as the application type, and enters the same team name. Spell it identically across all members, since that is how we group the applications.
Every member is reviewed individually as well as a team, so each application should stand on its own.
Production-level blockchain services with a clear problem definition and a realistic scope to launch and validate within three months.
You do. Builders and their teams retain full ownership of what they create.
A 2-week Training & Education phase comes before the 12-week camp. Builder Training is hands-on execution with AI tools and blockchain (shipping, not theory), and Education Courses bring active AI/blockchain practitioners to share practical insights, plus design and legal & compliance sessions.
The 12-week camp then covers AI-assisted product development workflows, blockchain system design, and real-world blockchain use cases, all geared toward rapid execution, iteration, and market validation.
For Cohort 10, Training & Education ran from September 14 to 25, 2026, and has concluded. It was mandatory for selected builders and open to all applicants. The 12-week camp will run from October 5 to December 25, 2026. Cohort 11 dates and program details will be announced later.
Full-time for three months, covering training, mentoring, building, and required online and in-person sessions. Participation requires a full-time commitment.
All sessions and communications are in English.
The format is hybrid, with online learning and in-person sessions across Asia. Cohort 10's Education Courses ran online in September 2026 and were open to all applicants.
Cohort 10's upcoming Seoul Kick-Off is scheduled for September 29 to October 1, 2026, with the kickoff event on September 30. Current participants should follow their confirmed travel arrangements and event updates in the Builder Dashboard. Dates and locations for Cohort 11 will be announced later.
Weekly group mentoring and monthly coaching with designated mentors, plus sessions with external guest speakers building in blockchain and AI.
Guidance is aligned with each team's progress throughout the program.
Free of charge for all selected builders, including flights and accommodations for offline sessions. Flight support is limited to routes between major international airports within Asia.
If you are traveling from outside Asia, you are responsible for arranging and paying for travel to and from the selected major international airport in Asia. Protocol Camp covers only the onward round-trip flight between that airport and the event destination.
We may provide supporting documents, but builders apply for and obtain their own visas.
You must be able to travel within Asia and hold a valid passport with sufficient validity beyond the program. Visa approval rests with government authorities and is not guaranteed.
You gain access to the alumni network and ecosystem partners, and you are encouraged to keep building, operating, and scaling your product.
