FRONTIER HACKATHON TRACK
Build with Torque MCP
Most hackathon projects die because they lack a growth strategy. Use the Torque MCP to build a project with a built-in growth loop that acquires and retains real users.

ABOUT TORQUE
The Programmable Retention Layer for Onchain Products
Torque provides the primitives — leaderboards, rebates, raffles, and gifts — to build sustainable loyalty, helping teams solve acquisition, retention, and velocity.
YOUR MISSION
Build a Project That Can Grow Itself
Rather than building projects specifically for Torque, we want to see Torque integrated to power your project's organic growth.
Integration
Use the Torque MCP to trigger growth primitives — leaderboards, rebates, raffles, or gifts.
Live Activity
Pass custom events or onchain actions to Torque. We judge based on live project activity, not just code.
Friction Log
Provide a brief builder experience report. Tell us what broke, what was confusing, and how we can improve.

FAQ
Common Questions
Can I submit to multiple hackathon tracks?
Yes! Projects are encouraged to be submitted to multiple tracks including the main Frontier hackathon.
Do I need to use Solana?
Torque is built on Solana, so your integration will be Solana-native. The MCP handles the complexity for you.
What counts as 'live activity'?
Any real usage of your project — passing custom events, triggering incentives, or recording onchain actions through Torque.
Is there support if I get stuck?
Join the Telegram group for direct support from the Torque team. We're here to help you ship.
Can I start building before the hackathon?
You can start whenever you're ready. The deadline is May 12, 2026.
