🎃 **Hacktoberfest 2026 threw out the pull-request grind — and left its perk rack wide open.** It’s the one part of the event that pays you back.

```auto
│ 🌐 .TECH address · 1 yr · ~$12
│ ☁️ Render hosting · $50
│ 🧠 Tinker AI credits · $10
│ 🧩 Backboard credits · $5

```

**$65 of prepaid dev infrastructure** — servers to put a project on, AI credits to burn. **Plus a real web address you keep for a year** — not a subdomain, not a free-host name. No code, no repo, no pull request to write.

**Grab the domain first.** Credits get spent; the address is the thing still pointing at your project next October — portfolio, side build, whatever you keep stalling on.

Nice writeup — the “grab the domain first” tip is the real move here. Credits burn down fast once you actually start deploying things, but a clean .TECH address that sticks around for a year is genuinely useful for a portfolio page or a demo you can show people. Did a couple of Hacktoberfest PRs back in the day and the swag was fun, but honestly the perks-that-keep-on-working are worth more. Thanks for laying out the exact steps, the promos page is not the easiest thing to find on your own.
