A seven-day hackathon bringing 300 builders together in San Francisco and online to create projects across agentic systems, zero-human companies, physical AI, and payments.

Why it surfaced

Burning Token turns a hackathon into an event spectacle: 150 people build in person, 150 join online, and the winning work is shaped through tracks with names like “Zero-Human Companies” and “Physical AI.” Its sponsor packages even promise product challenges, demo targets, workshops, and a “Burning Man experience.”

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
