quantihack runs in two stages — both with cash prizes
compete to have the highest profits on the platform — here's what you'll be working with.
feature 01
trade assets in real-time on our simulated exchange. watch your portfolio value change tick-by-tick as you compete against other teams on the live order book.
feature 02
write algorithms that trade on your behalf using our built-in IDE. deploy strategies in Python or JavaScript and watch them execute automatically against the live market.
feature 03
react to breaking news and emergency market events as they happen. sudden shocks will test your ability to adapt strategies under pressure — just like real markets.
top performers from the online week are invited to an all-day hack event in london. you can invite additional players to join your team for finals day — this is where it all comes together.
finals 01
an open-ended hackathon — build any data or tech project with your team. there are no restrictions on theme outside of keeping in line with a quantitative focus: AI, agents, data visualisation, automation — anything goes. teams have the full day to build something impressive and present it to the judges.
finals 02
a board of bounty-style challenges worth varying points will be available throughout the day. challenges are broadly tech-themed and designed to be accessible — you don't need deep domain expertise to tackle them. completing challenges contributes 40% of your team's total score.
finals 03
the remaining 60% of your score comes from a panel of judges evaluating your main project. they'll be looking at creativity and originality, technical difficulty, and how far you got — does it actually work? your judge score is combined with your challenge board score for the final ranking, and prizes are awarded to the top teams.
