Challenge
RZLT was in charge to activate the Central and Eastern European region, with a strong focus on developer onboarding, ecosystem expansion, and strategic regional visibility. At the heart of this collaboration was a two-fold mission: Engage new developers and technical audiences across the CEE region & position the Internet Computer Protocol as the premier blockchain platform for building decentralized AI and next-gen dApps.
To achieve this, we launched an integrated strategy combining localized partnerships with over 70 academic institutions, student organizations, developer communities, and enterprise teams - ranging from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Croatia to regional developer shops and ecosystem-native startups. In parallel, we executed a robust paid advertising and media outreach campaign, reaching over 10 million impressions across social platforms and industry publications. This helped establish WCHL as one of the most significant hackathon initiatives in the Web3 and AI landscape.

Results
A key differentiator in our narrative was ICP’s ability to natively run Large Language Models (LLMs) directly on-chain. This allowed us to tap into AI-focused communities and attract high-intent developers seeking to build intelligent, autonomous, and privacy-preserving applications.
The results of the Qualification Round exceeded expectations, with over 70 partners onboarded from across the CEE region, including universities, student organizations, media outlets, and developer communities. More than 150 developers actively began building on the Internet Computer Protocol, submitting dozens of projects that are now advancing to the next competitive stages of the World-Computer Hacker League. As WCHL progresses into its final phases, our work remains focused on supporting technical excellence, fostering cross-border collaboration, and empowering a new generation of decentralized builders inspired by the unique capabilities of ICP.
