What is Glimpse?
Glimpse is a forecasting market for financial assets. Instead of simply asking whether something will happen, Glimpse lets people forecast where the price of an asset will be at a specific point in time, and earn Bitcoin when they forecast accurately.
Users can forecast markets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Gold, turning their market views into positions and seeing how their predictions compare with the crowd. For developers, Glimpse creates an interesting new dataset: what thousands of people believe will happen next.
Why take part?
Build, trade, earn and get spotted.
Every eligible participant receives 5,000 sats to start forecasting on Glimpse.* Participants can use those sats to explore the platform and understand the product they're building around.
Alongside the hackathon itself, participants get:
- 5,000 sats to experience Glimpse
- Bitcoin prizes for the strongest submissions
- A real-world project for their CV/portfolio
- Exposure to Glimpse's founders and product team
- The chance for exceptional ideas to be explored further by Glimpse
