The Divvy.bet 2026 Bracket Challenge
March Madness is BACK and we couldn’t be more thrilled to announce the return of the Divvy.bet March Madness Bracket Challenge! For the 4th year in a row, we revolutionized the game by bringing the excitement of March Madness to Solana, enabling users to fill out brackets and mint their picks into NFTs. The concept gave holders true ownership of their brackets and created a new secondary market allowing holders to cash out on their picks or dive back into the competition with another bracket. Don’t miss out on the madness – join the action today by minting your bracket and brace yourself for the 3 weeks of unpredictable upsets, Cinderella stories, and the birth of legends.
How to get involved
Predict the winner of every game from the opening round all the way to the finals. If you are staring at the screen and can’t decide, just hit the autofill button. There are about 9.2 quintillion ways this can go, so sometimes letting the math decide is your best bet.
Don't forget to enter your predicted final total score for the Championship game since that acts as our tiebreaker. Once you are set, mint your bracket and get ready for the ride.

What exactly is March Madness
For anyone new to the chaos, this is the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. It’s a three-week stretch where 68 college teams from across the country play in a single-elimination format. It starts with the First Four play-in games and moves through four regions: East, West, Midwest, and South.
The beauty of the tournament is that anything can happen. Small schools regularly take down the giants, which is why we call them Cinderella stories. It is fast, unpredictable, and easily the most exciting three weeks in sports. We’ve just built the tech to make sure you actually own a piece of that excitement.
