The fifth edition of the Aleph Hackathon ran within Aleph March '26 and gathered more than 800 participants and 142 projects, with 12 chapters across five countries: Buenos Aires, San Juan, Salta, Rosario, La Plata and Mar del Plata in Argentina; Cochabamba, La Paz and Santa Cruz in Bolivia; Lima in Peru; Cuenca in Ecuador; and Cartago in Costa Rica.
The focus was on the tracks: the edition expanded its scope to four verticals, crypto, artificial intelligence, biotech and robotics, and brought partners LucAI and Y-Hat into the Biotech Track. The preparation included more than six workshops.
Each track had its winner:
- Avalanche Track: AutoBounty
- Fiserv Track: Clever
- GenLayer Track: TreasuryPilot
- Biotech Track: Consient
- Robotics Track: AlephRob
- Best Project PL Genesis: AutoBounty
AutoBounty took a double win: its track and the PL Genesis best project award.
The hackathon was the starting point of Season 5's Builder Funnel, which continues with the Acceleration Season and the Startup World Cup.
