Registration is open for HackCanton Season 3, AppsFactory’s five-week online program for builders developing products on Canton. The revised schedule sets the opening ceremony for September 17 at 12:00 UTC and the live Grand Final for October 21.

Builders can enter alone or with a team, starting with a new idea or returning to an unfinished project. The program helps participants move from identifying a problem and learning Canton to building a working first version of their product.

Workshops, team-formation sessions, technical and business mentoring, and office hours are included. Guided onboarding and a shared development environment also let teams work on their applications without setting up their own network infrastructure.

Projects can enter up to two of five tracks. These cover real-world assets and business workflows; financial applications such as exchanges and prediction markets; investment infrastructure, including funds and governance tools; data and analytics; and an open category for other ideas.

Season 3 offers up to $50,000 in cash and credits. Submissions are due October 9 at 23:59 UTC, with finalists announced on October 19.

Selected teams will then receive preparation and mentoring before presenting their work at the live Grand Final on October 21 at 14:00 UTC.
