Prizes

Here you will find information about the prizes and the tracks our project will apply to.

Connect the World with Chainlink — $4,000

Up to 2 teams will receive $2,000

Build something awesome using Chainlink! Anything that came from the Chainlink Documentation counts - using Price Feeds, Data Streams, PoR, VRF, Automation or Chainlink Functions! You can see examples of successful implementations of Chainlink services here - https://blog.chain.link/smart-contract-use-cases/

Qualification Requirements

  • **Each project must use a Chainlink service in some form to make a state change on a blockchain, otherwise it will not be eligible for the Chainlink core prizes. This means that a front end simply reading from Chainlink Data Feeds doesn’t count. Using Chainlink inside your smart contracts is required.
  • While all project submissions are evaluated holistically, there will be bonus points given to projects that use multiple Chainlink services in a meaningful way.
  • Please let us know how you use Chainlink in the project description.
  • It must be possible for the judges to find the Chainlink use in your code. Only the intention to use is not valid.**

Lit protocol (notes)

  • Private Training Data: If your machine learning model requires user-specific data for training or personalization, Lit Protocol can be used to securely store and manage this data. Users would control access permissions, deciding which data to share with the model and who can access the results.
  • Decentralized Model Updates: Explore using Lit Protocol to create a permissioned system where authorized users can contribute updates or improvements to the machine learning model itself. This could facilitate a more decentralized and community-driven approach to model development.
  • Secure User Access to Index Performance Insights: Lit Protocol could be used to create a system where users can access personalized insights into the index’s performance without revealing their underlying portfolio holdings.

Galadriel (notes)

Galadriel is an artificial intelligence tool designed to improve efficiency and accuracy in project management. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze real-time data and provide strategic recommendations. With Galadriel, organizations can optimize their resources, anticipate challenges, and make informed decisions based on accurate data.

  • Use a Trusted Execution Environment to request information from the ML model and record the result on-chain

Kinto

Kinto is a Layer 2 (L2) blockchain protocol designed for DeFi (Decentralized Finance) applications. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Focus on Safety:

  • KYC & AML: Kinto stands out for its emphasis on user verification. Unlike most DeFi protocols, Kinto requires all participants to undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. This aims to reduce the risk of anonymous scams and exploits that plague DeFi.
  • Built-in Insurance: Kinto offers built-in insurance for applications built on its platform. This can provide users with a degree of protection in case of unforeseen events.

Account Abstraction:

  • Kinto utilizes account abstraction, a feature where user wallets are separated from their on-chain accounts. This allows for more flexibility and future-proofing in terms of how users interact with the protocol.

Best use of Basin (object storage) — $5,000

1st place 1,250 | Runner ups $750 x3

Data-intensive applications that require decentralized object storage with S3 compatibility. Examples include:

  • ML pipeline that stores source dataset and subsequently labeled dataset in a bucket
  • AI inference that loads a model and RAG data from a bucket
  • Community-sourced datasets written with onchain rules

Qualification Requirements

  • **Usage of Basin (https://basin.textile.io)
  • Optionally, usage of Ceramic (https://ceramic.network) — e.g., store data at the edge, then write to Basin for persistence Note: Basin is written in Rust, so knowledge of Rust is expected to build with the Basin SDK. If you don’t know Rust, the Basin S3 adapter (https://github.com/textileio/basin-s3) allows you to run a background binary that any non-Rust language (Python, JavaScript, etc.) can easily interface via any S3 library. There’s also a Basin CLI tool.**
