Qubic RaiseHack 2025 Attracts 6,000 Developers 150,000 in Prizes Boost AI-Web3 Innovation

The Qubic RaiseHack 2025, branded as the world’s largest AI hackathon, concluded in Paris on July 9 after drawing over 6,000 developers globally, with 400 participants dedicated to the Qubic Track—a decentralized ecosystem focused on smart contracts and AI orchestration. Hosted alongside the RAISE Summit, the event was certified for its record-breaking scale by the organizing foundation, marking a significant milestone in AI-driven Web3 innovation. Finalists were selected for both technical excellence and business viability, showcasing prototypes addressing cross-chain interoperability, contract security, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Notably, teams completed proof-of-concept (POC) projects in six days, with one team from Casablanca delivering a lending prototype in just 120 hours [1].

The Qubic Track centered on four core challenges: building a Solana bridge for cross-chain data and asset transfer, developing AI-powered derivatives trading platforms, integrating the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into Qubic, and creating C++ smart contract audit tools. These projects underscored Qubic’s potential to tackle critical Web3 issues like interoperability and security. A standout feature was the focus on real-world applications, particularly in B2B sectors such as energy and supply chain, distinguishing the event from abstract POCs. Fourteen of the 22 finalists already have roadmaps for funding, while nine plan to seek grants on Qubic in the coming months. Investors are increasingly drawn to the ecosystem’s built-in compliance features and a combined $150,000 in prizes and grants, positioning it as a vetted pipeline for AI × Web3 innovation [1].

Rewards for the Qubic Track included cash prizes (up to 5,000 USDT for first place) and access to incubation programs offering up to $200,000 in financing and investor networking. Finalists were also invited to a Qubic-focused hackathon planned for Q4 2025, reflecting sustained momentum in the ecosystem. During the July 8–9 finals at the Louvre, teams presented to a jury composed of industry leaders, with three winners selected. However, all 22 finalists gained entry to the next event, emphasizing Qubic’s commitment to long-term collaboration. The RAISE Summit provided a strategic backdrop, featuring keynotes from cloud industry leaders and discreet networking opportunities under the Louvre’s iconic pyramid [1].

Investor interest in Qubic is driven by its quality deal flow and practical applications. Half of the finalists target concrete industrial markets, aligning with venture capital priorities. The event’s financial incentives—$150,000 in prizes and grants—serve as an initial filter, reducing risk for early-stage investors. Qubic’s partnership with Lablab.ai and plans for a fully Qubic-focused hackathon in late 2025 further highlight its potential as a hub for decentralized AI innovation. Developer pre-registrations for the next event are set to open soon, with limited slots expected to attract high-caliber talent [1].

The Qubic RaiseHack 2025 demonstrated the power of structured collaboration in accelerating AI and Web3 convergence. By addressing technical, regulatory, and market challenges through tangible projects, the event has positioned itself as a critical node in the evolving decentralized tech landscape. As Qubic prepares for its next edition, the ecosystem’s focus on scalability, security, and real-world utility suggests it could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of AI-driven smart contracts [1].
