Prizes

Total Reward Pool: $2.000USD 


  • Defi Champion: $1k USD

    • Best Usage of GUD Trading Engine 

    • The best projects that use Gud Trading Engine on Zircuit will win this prize. The code should be well engineered, tested, and have a compelling use case. These gems are the projects that will inspire future hackathon projects because of their outstanding quality. 

    • A successful submission will include a functional prototype that solves the problem it’s intended to address. It will showcase some innovation/creativity, either through technological or UI improvements. It may be complete and solve a long-standing open problem or introduce something with a lot of potential for future development. Either way, it has an impact on the Zircuit ecosystem.

    • Winning projects should have a user-centered design that makes it easy for their audience. This can be end users or developers. The best may also include clean and consistent visual designs.

    • Any interesting blockchain applications are welcome. Novel ideas are more impressive than clones of existing projects, though there are certainly times where clones include significant improvements. Any use case and features are welcome! Those that are very technical may impress the judges if done correctly but simpler ideas may be easier to do well.

    • This bounty will be judged based on completeness, execution, and creativity.


  • Defi pool prize: $500 USD

    • Integrate GUD Trading Engine to be eligible for the pool prize! The usage of the Gud Trading Engine will be judged and be the selection criteria for the prize.
