Chexy: Make Every Payment Count with Chexy

Challenge

Chexy: Make Every Payment Count with Chexy

To qualify for the Chexy prize track, a submission must:

  1. Comply with all Hack the 6ix rules and be built during the official hacking period by a registered team of 1-4 hackers. 2. Select the Chexy prize track in its official Devpost submission. 3. Include a working prototype that demonstrates at least one end-to-end payment-related workflow. The workflow may cover input, analysis, decision-making, processing, status tracking, reconciliation, or another meaningful payment outcome. 4. Include a clear project description, technology or architecture summary, and the source-code repository or equivalent technical artifact required by Hack the 6ix. 5. Clearly identify the target user, the payment-related problem being addressed, the project’s relationship to Chexy’s mission, and the benefit created for the user. 6. Explain relevant privacy, security, reliability, financial correctness, error-handling, and failure-mode considerations. 7. Use sandbox or synthetic data. Projects must not move real money, collect live banking or card credentials, or expose personal financial information.

A direct integration with Chexy is not required, and no proprietary Chexy API is assumed. Teams may use public APIs, open-source libraries, and synthetic datasets with appropriate attribution.

Static mockups, slide-only concepts, or generic chatbots without meaningful payment-specific functionality will not be competitive. Judges will prioritize projects that combine useful product insight, technical depth, responsible financial design, and a credible working demonstration.

Teams are not expected to build production-grade financial infrastructure within the hackathon. They are expected to demonstrate sound technical reasoning, a functional core experience, and awareness of the trust and reliability requirements involved in financial technology.

The winning team will receive:

  • A private 30-minute product, engineering, and portfolio review with a member of the Chexy team - Priority resume review for applicable future Chexy internship and early-career opportunities - Eligible participants may be invited to participate in Chexy’s formal interview process at Chexy’s discretion
