2026 EVE Frontier Hackathon

Rebuild civilization in a living galaxy: Create mods for EVE Frontier

Welcome to Sui x EVE Frontier's global hackathon, inviting builders to create mods that extend and interact with EVE Frontier, the in-development space survival game from CCP Games.

Guided by the theme "A Toolkit for Civilization," entries can range from practical survival tools to experimental, emergent systems.

Challenge yourself to build the systems that help bring civilization back to a broken universe and compete for a total prize pool of $80,000!
