License, deploy, and discover hackathons

6 AI engines, Web3 identity, white-label branding
The open-source platform packs a serious feature set. A Hub license unlocks the premium capabilities at scale — and lists your events in the global directory.
AI Quality Assessment
AI analyzes each project and scores 0–100 across 4 dimensions: completeness, innovation, technical depth, presentation.
AI Judge Assistant
Real-time AI suggestions, project summaries, and key technical highlights to help judges score consistently.
Scoring Consistency
Monitors judge scoring deviation in real time, flagging overly harsh or leniant judges — 10 judges analyzed in ~3s.
Content Moderation
Auto-detect sensitive content, spam, and hate speech with 5 severity classes and suggested approve / review / reject actions.
AI Content Generation
One-click generate README, optimize project descriptions, pitch deck outlines, press releases, emails, and scoring rubrics.
Plagiarism Detection
Compare two text snippets or pairwise across all projects in a hackathon — >70% high risk, 30–70% medium, <30% low.
Web3 Wallet Login
SIWE-based EVM wallet login via RainbowKit + wagmi. Users connect once and carry their identity across events.
Cross-Event Points
Global points, participation counts, and on-chain attestations. A unified Web3 identity that follows participants everywhere.
White-Label Branding
Customize site name, logo, favicon, SEO metadata, footer, and even the admin panel URL path — full white-label control.
