If you are a web3 dev, this is your place. 200 top hackers paired with 100 companies that already generate revenue, no blockchain yet. 36 hours to ship useful features that go live the following week. We don't reward innovation, we reward impact.
100 SMEs and startups with profits today, paired with 200 top selected web3 devs. 2 reps + 2 devs. 36 hours of useful implementation.
The final pitch measures impact: 1 min company · 1 min idea · 3 min demo of the feature shipped · 3 min Q&A.
The future of payments and micropayments in Mexico, AI blended with Blockchain, stablecoins, identity and compliance, RWA and more. Prizes from Sponsors and for 12 finalists, partner tracks and angel/VC judges. Institutional backing from FONATUR, Mexico City Chamber of Commerce and 50+ tourism companies (airlines, hotels, restaurants, tour operators).
Traditional hackathons lost credibility. The Incubathon measures real adoption: if the feature ships to production, you won.
Heading into our third edition. So far we have onboarded more than 1,200 devs across hackathons, university workshops, panels, conferences, pop up cities, meetings and coworks. What comes next:
The activations across the year, with the Incubathon as the main convergence point.
These are the companies and projects betting on real impact in Mexico and LATAM.
50+ media partners (TV, press, radio, crypto news) cover the 36 hours of the Incubathon from 10:00 to 17:00.
A day for builders, researchers and cypherpunks: secure coding practices, cryptographic resistance, privacy and digital sovereignty. 15 talks and workshops throughout the day.
Some of the topics you will find:
Full agenda with speakers and time slots on the Luma event page.
The 1st web3 Libertadores Cup happens inside the Incubathon of 400 people. Top 10 regional startups compete for the trophy, cash prizes and a pitch at the Incubathon closing.
Where we expect the highest concentration of useful implementations this year. We look for features that ship to production, not demos.
Instant low value payments. They unlock business models where transaction cost killed the idea before. Pay per use subscriptions, streaming tips, micro access to content.
KYC, AML, on chain audit and regulatory compliance. The layer that traditional companies need to adopt blockchain without breaking their legal framework.
Traceability of goods, processes and production chains. Vital for tourism (where FONATUR supports), agriculture, manufacturing, logistics and fair trade.
Yields, lending, derivatives, stablecoins. The open financial layer of Ethereum, applied to real flows of companies operating today in pesos, dollars and other currencies.
Smart contract audit, OPSEC, privacy as defense. Without this foundation, everything else breaks. Connects directly with the Ethereum Security Day on July 8.
Tokenizing work, royalties, intellectual property over digital and physical assets. So creators get paid what they earn on every downstream use.
Pop-Up City Short. Coming soon: interview about what the project means, the lessons learned during the Pop-Up City and the future of blockchain and AI-assisted governance.
Local roots, global builders. From Oaxaca to the world!
In May we ran a week of co-creation and prototyping of IAldea.org: an open infrastructure for community memory and civic intelligence serving the 500,000+ LATAM communities with fewer than 500 inhabitants. The project lives on. See the progress and outputs at IAldea.org.

While you take part in all the side events of the Incubathon week, one of the most vibrant cities in the world is waiting for you.
Avenue of the Dead, pyramids, ruins. A must for explorers.
Colorful trajineras, canals, traditional food. The Mexican party in its element.
Wrestling at Arena México. Passion, tradition and adrenaline.
Forest, castle, world class museums.
Zócalo, Templo Mayor, Bellas Artes, Garibaldi. The city's soul.
During the 2026 World Cup, the Zócalo becomes the official FAN FEST. Giant screens, thousands of fans watching matches. Right during the Incubathon week.
The most bohemian neighborhood in the city. Cobbled streets, markets, plazas, street food and Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul.
One of the most important archaeological collections in the world, inside Chapultepec. All of Mesoamerica in one visit.
Every edition runs on the people behind it: service providers, media partners, infrastructure, venues, prizes and more. A huge thank you to everyone already backing us, and an open invitation to anyone who wants to help build the most impactful web3 event in LATAM. Your support makes it real.
