Global Mesh AI & Swarm Robotics Challenge 2026: Build Open Source Edge Systems

Welcome to the Decentralized Mesh Protocol Hackathon 2026, an open-source, contribution-based event for developers, C++ enthusiasts, and IoT/robotics builders. Participants will address real-world issues in dynamic node routing, swarm network optimization, testing, and documentation to create robust edge infrastructure.

The hackathon offers over 10 categorized GitHub issues of varying difficulty (easy, medium, hard). Submissions are strictly via GitHub Pull Requests, and all C++/Embedded code must compile cleanly using PlatformIO/CMake. Prizes include cash rewards up to ₹10,000 for the winner, swag bags, certificates, and potential core team invites.
