The rules are pretty simple for the hackers: They must use the Cosmos SDK and IBC to solve a real-world problem or build with Ethermint, Peggy, and CosmWasm. Furthermore, hackers have the possibility to work with DeFi and NFT’s as these two topics are considerably interesting, but the list is only limited to the creativity of the participants.
Submissions and Rewards
The different submissions made during the event period must be open source, use the Cosmos SDK and IBC protocol, and must do something useful and interesting. A working demo will also be a major factor to decide about the winners. The total reward pool will be split into several smaller prizes paid in ATOMs coins: $6,000 for the first place, $5,000 for the second place and $4,000 for the third. The price ratio of the ATOM for the event will be taken into account on the last day of the hackathon at the official closing price reflected on Coin Market Cap.
