Polkadot Hackathon prizes and bounties

 Note: Participants can only win 1 track prize for Polkadot. 

ink! Smart Contracts Track

Ink! is a Rust-based programming language for writing Web Assembly (Wasm) smart contracts. Developers in the Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem can use ink! to build efficient, high-performance smart contracts and dapps for Wasm virtual machines, which represent an alternative to EVM/Solidity-based smart contract systems. Show off your skills in writing smart contracts with ink! by competing for the grand prize and a number of bounties. 

 

  • Grand prize: Winner - $10.000 USD

  • Write ink! smart contracts for an oracle Substrate chain: Winner - $5.000 USD

  • Recreate your favourite dApp in ink!: Top two - $5.000 USD each 

 

Polkadot Improvement Track 

Work on something that brings your skills together to create a project which will improve the Polkadot ecosystem. From developer tooling to awesome user interfaces, wallets or update existing integrations - the sky's the limit. Let your imagination run wild and compete for a grand prize or for a select number of bounties.  

 

  • Grand prize: Winner - $10.000 USD

  • Make writing Wasm smart contracts more accessible in other languages: Winner - $5.000 USD

  • Update and integrate the Chainlink <> Polkadot Pallets to a local parachain: Winner - $5.000 USD

  • Create a webapp UI for a pallet or an existing ink! smart contract of your choice: Winner - $5.000 USD

  • Create an interactive smart contract webapp that uses substrate-connect: Winner - $5.000 USD

 

Parachains and pallets track

 

Dive deep into the Polkadot ecosystem and explore various parachains that are already connected to Polkadot. Build dapps on top of parachains by utilising the full power of their smart contracting capabilities or by adding logic directly to the runtime. Extra points for leveraging Cross Consensus Messaging (XCM) to make full use of one of Polkadot’s biggest features - interoperability. 

 

  • Grand prize: Winner - $10.000 USD

  • Best smart contract deployed to a Polkadot Parachain: Winner - $5.000 USD

  • Best pallet to integrate with a Polkadot parachain: Winner - $5.000 USD

BINANCE PRIZES


For many protocols on BSC, accurate and trusted asset prices, known as oracles, are crucial. The diversity of oracles will definitely enhance the robustness and innovation of the ecosystem, as BNBChain is expanding to multi-chain architecture, a new Oracle infra should be introduced here to be easily deployed to the BAS and BPC in future.


Prize Bounty : Total of $30,000 BUSD.

Gold - $15,000 in BUSD Tokens

Silver - $10,000 in BUSD Tokens

Bronze - $5,000 in BUSD Tokens

Submission Requirement :

Please provide a valid BSC wallet address to receive BUSD.

Judging criteria :

Design and usability.
The code is open source.
A proper guide to reproduce the performance test.
The chain is based on the BNB Chain.

Covalent Prizes

Bounty : $10,000 prize pool

Covalent is offering a $10,000 USD (in stablecoin) prize pool for all projects built during the hackathon that make use of the Covalent API to pull in multi-chain data into a smart contract using Chainlink.

The prize pool includes a top prize of $3,000 and a minimum prize of $500 to qualifying projects at Covalent’s discretion. To qualify, projects must, at the very least, use one Covalent API endpoint and pull on-chain data from any supported blockchain into a smart contract using Chainlink.

  • See this example for an NFT betting game use case using Chainlink + Covalent
  • See this example code template on how to use Chainlink with Covalent

Our API is ideal for building multi-chain projects related to:

  • NFT storefronts / marketplaces / galleries
  • On-Chain Analytics / Dashboards
  • Wallets
  • Asset tracking, ROI, cost basis and tax calculators

For other ideas and examples of past hackathon projects, please see our:

  • Events blog
  • Use cases outlining how to build popular Web3 projects like OpenSea, Zapper and Uniswap
Judging

Projects will be scored on a 1-5 scale for each of the following key factors:

  • Originality, creativity, and feasibility of your project (do you provide a good solution to a real problem?)
  • The specific Covalent API endpoints used
  • Integration with Chainlink
  • User experience (good front-end design and data presentation)
  • Technical competence (well organized and written code)
Resources

 

  • API Docs - Use the Covalent API directly from the browser with our API docs
  • Use case templates - Build off our ready-to-ship Web3 use case templates for wallets, NFT collections, DEXs and price trackers
  • Knowledge Base - check out our developer support resources and details on every supported blockchain network.

INVENIAM PRIZES

Challenge 1: Use a Smart Contract to send a message to holders of a security token

Just like shareholders in public companies, holders of Security Tokens want to receive periodic messages, notices, and reports from "management."

  Just like shareholders in public companies, holders of Security Tokens want to receive periodic income from their investments. In this challenge, you will use a smart contract, connected via Chainlink, to manage the simple computation and on-chain payment of a dividend sent by the management of a Tokeny Security token.   Challenge instructions and resources: https://github.com/blockportal-hq/chainlink-hackathon-spring-2022-instructions.
