FAIR3 Hackathon

Welcome to the first FAIR3 Hackathon—a call to builders, rebels, dreamers, and decentralists. This is not just a competition. It’s a movement to rewrite the very rules of creation.

Why This Matters

FAIR3 was born from a simple belief: True innovation shouldn't be stifled by unfair systems.

In a world dominated by black-box algorithms, platform monopolies, and the slow erosion of creator value, FAIR3 is rallying teams and builders to co-create a new system:

• Rebuilding transparent algorithmic boundaries, not tolerating opaque control

• Returning true data ownership to users, not platforms

• Designing sustainable income mechanisms for individuals, not passive replacement

We build for those like Wang Xin (QVOD), Shawn Fanning (Napster), and the Tornado Cash developers—visionaries who challenged the system too early and sparked waves of change. Some were misunderstood, some pushed to the margins, some became symbols of unfinished revolutions. But their ideas live on.

This time, we build together—with and through the FAIR3 community.

Wang Xin—founder of QVOD and a pioneer of P2P video technology—is now a core member of FAIR3’s CTO circle. In his words:

"All open-source projects are trying to answer the same question: How can humans collaborate without bosses?"

FAIR3's answer: through verifiable fairness, consensus-based narrative, and emergent community systems.

We're not trying to manage people—but enable people to invent their own rules. — Wang Xin on Twitter
