hackers, come aboard!
Kasa kay public!
December is here, which means we’re officially entering the runway phase before the BEST Conference & Hackathon. This calls for a special something for builders.
BTW, have you seen our new website yet?
Our website is now live, which means the town has officially been painted red. We love it, and we think you will, too. Check it out. ⬇️
Introducing: BEST Hack Pass
Forget about filling out forms, waiting for replies, or repeatedly refreshing your inbox, hoping to see the “you’re in!” email.
What if you could build in public, get noticed, and earn a direct pass to the ETHMumbai 2026 Hackathon?
That’s exactly what BEST Hack Pass is.
We’re running 4 challenges across the span of 4 weeks. The winners of each challenge get direct entry into the hackathon.
Challenge #1
Build a website that transforms any profile picture into an ETHMumbai-styled avatar while keeping user privacy in mind. We’re announcing winners for the same on 7th December!
Think:
Upload a picture → give it a twist with ETHMumbai colours, quirks, and visual language → post it for the world to see!
To show us what you’ve built, simply quote tweet our challenge announcement. The Mitra Mandal will check all quote tweets and announce the winners

MIP-13 on December 20
Our monthly MIPs are back! Swing by, meet the ETHMumbai team, share ideas, find collaborators, and catch an early pulse on everything that’s brewing.
We’re just 3 months away from the BEST Conference and Hackathon, and things are about to start rolling fast.
Until then, keep an eye on the weekly challenges, follow us on X, build in public, and show us the skill and spirit you’re bringing to ETHMumbai.
Early builders always get the BEST headstart.
Chala bhetu ya,
ETHMumbai Mitra Mandal
