Hackathon Theme

The hackathon theme has been announced! The theme is Defi. While following the theme is not required, it is worth 5 points in the judging criteria.

Judging Criteria

Each submitted project will be judged by a panel of nine judges. Projects will be scored by the following criteria:

  • Theme fit
  • Originality & innovation
  • Ease of use (UI/UX)
  • Sustainability (marketplace viability)
  • Technical complexity
  • Level of completion

Each category gets a score between 0 - 5, with a maximum total score of 30.

Rules

  • Coding may not begin before Sept 10th, 2021, 5PM UTC
  • Any open-source smart contract project can be used as the starting point. However, this must be fully disclosed to the judges so they can see how much work was performed during the competition. This information is disclosed during the submission process.
