EVE Frontier, Sui launch global hackathon with $80,000 prize pool

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — CCP Games has announced the EVE Frontier × Sui Hackathon 2026, a global online competition set for March 11–31, 2026, with $80,000 in prizes.

The event invites individuals and teams of up to five to build mods for EVE Frontier, a survival universe powered by blockchain infrastructure from Sui.

Mods can run inside the game through Smart Assemblies — player-built structures such as turrets, stargates, and storage units — or outside the game via external applications connected to the live universe.

With the theme “A Toolkit for Civilization,” entries will be deployed on the live server, where players can test them.

Community voting will play a key role in selecting winners.

“EVE Frontier is built on the idea that a virtual world shouldn’t be static,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “This is the next step in game modding: where builders aren’t just modding a client or a tool, but modding the server itself in real time.”

Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, added: “Our goal is to provide the infrastructure to build ‘forever games,’ moddable worlds that can keep evolving. While EVE and Sui provide the foundation, it’s the builders who drive innovation.”
