Imagine the Carrousel du Louvre filled with laptops, post-its, and hugs between coders: that’s how the finals of the Qubic RaiseHack took place on July 8–9, alongside the RAISE Summit, the main European gathering dedicated to AI. The 2025 edition truly earned its title as the world’s largest AI hackathon: over 6,000 registered developers across all Tracks, a record certified by the organizing foundation.

Qubic RaiseHack : Le plus grand hackathon IA au monde

In brief

  • The world’s largest AI hackathon
  • Over 6,000 developers, including 400 on Qubic
  • Second hackathon planned for Q4

At the heart of this ocean of talent, 400 enthusiasts focused on the Qubic Track, the decentralized ecosystem of smart contracts and AI orchestration. The result? 22 finalist teams, selected both for the sophistication of their business model and the elegance of their code.

Six days from idea to POC: immersion in an extraordinary track

“The pace is crazy, but the learning curve is even more intense,” says Aïcha, lead dev of a team from Casablanca. Working online from July 4 to 8, her team delivered a lending prototype in 120 hours flat. A feat far from isolated: the average time for a POC on the Qubic Track is the same.

The real surprise? The commitment. All participants want to come back and develop the smart contracts of tomorrow on Qubic.

What did the teams build?

Teams on the Qubic Track tackled four ambitious challenges to advance Web3:

Solana Bridge

Building secure bridges to transfer data and assets between Solana and Qubic, ensuring interoperability between the two.

Derivatives Trading Platform

Creating decentralized platforms for options and futures trading on Qubic, with AI-powered trading tools.

EVM on Qubic

Integrating the Ethereum Virtual Machine into Qubic to run Ethereum apps on the Qubic network.

C++ Smart Contract Audit Tool

Developing AI tools to verify C++ smart contracts on Qubic, enhancing security and trust.

These projects demonstrated how Qubic can address major Web3 challenges: cross-blockchain connectivity, contract security, and more.

Rewards and opportunities

The Qubic Track offered significant incentives:

  • Cash Prize: 5,000 USDT for first place, 3,000 for second, 2,000 for third.
  • Incubation Program: access to support, with up to $200,000 financing and investor networking.
  • Future collaboration: the 22 finalists are invited to the Qubic Hackathon in Q4 2025.

Why investors keep an eye on Qubic

  • Dense and qualified flow — Of 22 projects, 14 have a roadmap ready for funding, and 9 plan to request grants on Qubic in the coming months.
  • Strong industrial verticals — Industry 4.0, energy, supply chain: half of the finalists target concrete B2B markets, far from gimmicky POCs.
  • Built-in compliance — Several demos are already ready to be shared, easing regulatory compliance.
  • Real commitment — Qubic and its partners put up $150,000 in prizes and more in grants: an initial financial filter that speaks to VCs.

The highlight: two days of finals at the Louvre

On July 8 and 9, the Qubic Track took center stage at the RAISE Summit, Europe’s largest AI event. Between keynotes from cloud giants and discreet networking under the pyramid, the finalists presented their demos.

A jury composed of the COO, two members of the ecosystem, and a developer selected three winners on the podium, but each finalist walks away with a spot for the Qubic Hackathon announced for Q4 2025.

And next? Headed for Q4

The momentum is such that Qubic confirms a second edition of RaiseHack for Q4 2025, again alongside Lablab.ai. With a bigger grant pool, more mentors… and this time, a 100% Qubic-focused event.

For investors seeking quality AI × Web3 deal flow, the timing is perfect. Developer pre-registrations open soon, with limited spots.

RaiseHack proves that a well-orchestrated hackathon can become a machine for revealing and de-risking innovation. As decentralized AI approaches a turning point, missing the Qubic wave could be costly.
