How can you give $2 million to the winners if you can't give $100 to the builders?

No link to claim
No replies
No resources
No registration confirmation
No Judges list

And then build a profitable project, provide full source code, include evidence of real users and provide customers contact information (name, email, phone)...

the sponsor is explicitly telling they will not keep me secrets, yet they are asking you to hand over highly confidential customer details.
This contradiction creates a massive legal trap for me, not for the sponsor

    yeah, I'm quitting, this prize is a scam. Google is being greedy as @#$%, they will make more money than what they are giving out in prizes. I'm sticking to Cursor and Claude.

    This isn't about scamming, it's about a mindset that sees other people's hard work as something to be exploited. I'd rather focus my energy on building a sustainable, profitable business than get involved in that kind of environment. I'll not submit my project

    Thank you all for posting and sharing your concerns. We shared elsewhere that Google Cloud and Antigravity include getting started resources directly through their websites at https://cloud.google.com/free and https://antigravity.google/. We’ll be sharing more details about additional resource packages in the coming weeks — stay tuned.

    In regards to sharing full source code, Judges adhere to confidentiality and nondisclosure of project submissions. Private repos should be shared with testing@devpost.com and judging@hacker.fund to ensure sufficient protections during the judging process. The hackathon contest is designed to compliantly handle PII. As for any names you are not able to share, feel free to cross them out or similarly anonymize.
    Thank you,

    Please clarify, is it Build with Gemini, i.e. using Antigravity is necessary or just that Gemini needs to part of product & Gemini needs to used by Agents for managing the business
