Just registered for DRUNIX (NPCI × Citi). Who else is in?
Registered today! This is my first fintech hackathon. It's run by NPCI with Citi and was launched at Global Fintech Fest 2026. The big draw for me: selected teams get to use NPCI's APIs and systems to build their prototypes.
From what I've read, the hackathon is named after Drunix, NPCI's new open-source blockchain platform, which is built on Hyperledger Fabric. So this week I'm learning Fabric basics.
My idea so far: a shared, tamper-proof list of reported scam UPI IDs that banks and payment apps can check before money moves, with warnings in the user's own language.
Two questions for anyone who's done a payments or blockchain hackathon:
- At the first stage, do judges care more about a working demo or a strong idea?
- Any beginner-friendly resources for Hyperledger Fabric? This walkthrough of the Drunix code looks like a good start: https://deepwiki.com/npci/drunix
Registration closes 30 September, so if you're on the fence, this is your sign.
