Unlike MLH, which operates as a league for student hackathons with a selective application process, MastryHub is an open platform where anyone can host a hackathon — corporations, universities, DAOs, developer communities, and individuals. No approval needed.
Compared to Devfolio, MastryHub offers a more flexible event structure with multi-round pitstops, community hubs for long-term engagement, and a richer judging system with custom rubrics and track-based judge assignment.
MastryHub combines the best of all platforms: the ease of Luma, the developer focus of Devfolio, the bounty capabilities of DoraHacks, and the community of MLH — in one free, open platform.
