Linea Oct-Nov Dev Cook-off
Linea monthly hackathon
Hackathon State
10,003 USDT
Available in Prizes
Description
Create, Iterate, and Innovate!
Every month, Linea will host a mini, online buildathon to celebrate and reward continuous hacking! For October and November Dev Cook-off, we will have a 10,000 USD pool prize distributed to qualified projects.
You can create a new project, iterate on an ongoing one, or revive and refresh that old side project you've been wanting to get back to.
That means you don't need to start from scratch! The only requirement is that you're building with Linea, made progress on your project in the current month, and you've posted about your project on social (and included a frog somewhere)!
This is a great opportunity to win some small prizes alongside your regular building, improve on past hackathon projects, and get exposure to the Linea team and community!
Literally, win cool prizes for just shipping.
General Track
5,000 USDT
General Track
We'll be distributing $5000 amongst the top qualified projects. This can take the form of two outstanding projects receiving $2500 each, 10 projects receiving $500 each, or, in the case that no submissions meet our quality bar, no prize money being distributed for that month.
General Track
Judging Criteria
To qualify for rewards, please ensure the project is deployed on Linea. If you build sth. using Hemera/Verax then you would qualify for both Linea general track and Hemera track. If you build sth. else but still deployed on Linea like a frog-themed crowdfunding dapp then you would qualify only for Linea general track.
Verax/Hemera Bounty
5,000 USDT
