Details
The hackathon features seven tracks including DeFi, Infra & Scalability, SocialFi, Cross-chain, NFT, Gamify & Metaverse, Greenfield, and Innovation. Participants can compete in teams or take on the challenge as individuals. BNB Chain will conduct workshops, staff office hours, and host AMAs to ensure that all participants are fully supported.
Prizes
The hackathon will award cash prizes of $15K to the first place winner, $6K to the second place winner, and $4K to the third place winner for each track. The first place winner for each track will also be automatically accepted into the Zero2Hero Incubator program, which will give developers training in Web3 marketing, tokenomics design, community building, and more.
Moreover, throughout the hackathon sponsors will provide cash bounties to participants in a wide variety of areas including cloud applications, rollups, NFTs, derivatives, synthetic assets, decentralized computation, yield farming, Web3 Gaming, and DAOs.
Judging criteria
Judging criteria will index heavily towards projects with full MVPs launched on BNB Chain Testnet, but clean and creative implementations of a feature on an existing BNB Chain dApp will also be acceptable. All submissions will need to incorporate a product or service offered by one or more of the hackathon partners. And, all participants will need to show a steady commit trail and fully document their thought process for the judges’ consideration, including a competitive analysis, an overview of BNB Chain tools or integrations necessary for the project to function optimally, and a performance roadmap.
