BUILD THE THING.
SHIP WITH MYRMIC.
Hack The Thing is the hackathon platform for the Myrmic community. We host and co-organize online and in-person hackathons where builders use Rust, explore Myrmic, and ship real projects for distributed edge systems.
WHY WE EXIST
We believe the best way to advance open source and edge technology is by building with it. Hack The Thing brings developers, students, companies, and communities together to turn ideas into working prototypes and push the boundaries of what is possible at the edge.

Share Knowledge
We document, publish, and share what we learn to help the entire ecosystem grow.
BUILT ON MYRMIC
Myrmic is an open-source runtime for resilient distributed edge systems. It provides a lightweight, portable foundation to build applications that run across constrained devices, gateways, edge computers, and servers.
Hack The Thing exists to help more builders discover, learn, and build with Myrmic through real challenges, real projects, and real community.
The people behind Hack The Thing
Hack The Thing is brought to you by Peeriot, the team behind Myrmic. We are engineers, builders, and open-source advocates who care deeply about resilient systems and developer empowerment.
We build the tools, host the events, and support the community so you can focus on what matters: building awesome things.
