Blitz in three cities, February to April

From February to April 2026, Mobil3 ran four Monad Blitz, short hackathons, for the Monad Foundation. At each one, developers, students and founders formed teams, built on Monad's testnet with technical mentoring from Frutero and presented their project at the close.
Each edition, with its date, its venue, what happened and who won.
Colonia Del Valle: a coworking space by day, a terrace at night
Mexico City · Saturday, February 21
It was the first Blitz: it opened with Monad 101 and a Frutero workshop to form teams, then a full day of building with Monad Foundation mentors and pitches at night. Teams built with AI and agents, DeFi, payments and prediction markets. On a wall, every builder pinned a photo and wrote what they wanted to learn.
The second edition in the city ran in a Roma Norte townhouse with a patio and stained-glass rooms. Every team got Frutero's Builder Pack, with guides and tools to build with agents, and from this edition an external technical jury picked the winners.
We arrived before the Blitz: campus outreach on Thursday the 16th, then a panel and a Monad 101 talk on Friday the 17th. Saturday was the most business-minded edition: several teams built on problems from their own companies, such as invoice factoring for small businesses, tokenized caliche, parametric insurance for industrial sensors and a 3D view of Monad's parallel execution.

What Mobil3 did
We ran the program end to end, in all three cities.
Program design
One format repeated city by city: welcome, Monad 101, workshops, team formation, mentored building, pitches and awards.
Venues and partners
The venue in each city, Frutero on technical mentoring and Espacio Cripto on coverage.
Recruitment and the day itself
Local recruitment, registration and check-in, the content ahead of each edition, logistics and mentors in the room.
Judging and verification
A project counts as approved when it is submitted to Monad's testnet and the jury verifies its on-chain transaction.
Follow-up
After the last Blitz, every builder got calls to keep going: POSiBLE 2026, POSiBLE Nuevo León, Reto Zapopan and priority access to the Mobil3 hackathon.
What connected the cohorts
Goyo AI, a winner of the Mobil3 Hackathon 2025, came back to the second Mexico City Blitz with a new project.
MiZona built first at the Monterrey Blitz, kept going in Guadalajara and took first place there.
Builders from all four editions ended up connected in a Monad México community WhatsApp group.
