Bring Your Vibe: DCL Regenesis Labs Hackathon
Your vibe. Your world. Powered by AI, shaped by you.
This October, we’re launching the first major community event from Regenesis Labs: the Bring Your Vibe Hackathon.
From October 13 to November 9, creators from all backgrounds are invited to explore DCL Worlds, learn how to use AI-assisted tools and vibe code their way from concept to execution.
More than $7,500 USD in prizes
Exclusive rewards for all participants
Spooky Halloween vibes along the way
Workshops and Spaces to level up your building skills
Lowering the Barriers to Creation
Building in the metaverse has often required a mix of coding, 3D modeling, interactive design, and storytelling. With AI tools and Vibe Coding, those barriers are rapidly disappearing. The focus is on expression over perfection — your vibe, your vision, your world.
At Regenesis Labs, our mission is to unlock creative potential and onboard the next generation of Decentraland builders. This hackathon is your invitation to experiment, share and push the boundaries of what building can look like.
