Pulso Hackathon brings together builders across Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina around composability and DeFi integration. Teams of 2-4 must integrate with approved infrastructure projects like DeFindex to participate. SDF Developer Advocate Vlad Omago discusses preparation strategies, open-source contribution paths, and the regional Pit Day format that precedes the Stellar Summit by approximately one month.
Pulso Hackathon is a Latin American competition spanning three countries (Brazil, Colombia, Argentina) with a focus on composability—integrating applications with approved infrastructure projects. Teams of 2-4 must deliver new features or integrations during the competition window, with DeFindex highlighted as a key DeFi partner. SDF Developer Advocate Vlad Omago explains the participation pathway: teams work on their projects, then present at regional Pit Days (São Paulo, Bogotá, Buenos Aires) where they receive mentorship from developers at Pauta Labs, the team behind DeFindex. Prize pools including Star Wars rewards are available. The hackathon culminates in builders attending the Stellar Summit one month later, fostering cross-country ecosystem connections and building community ahead of the larger global gathering.
