Event Details

To ensure overall fairness and maintain the quality of the projects, we will:

1) Decline the participation of projects that are already very mature or have won multiple awards in the past for the hackathon competition.

2) Give priority to projects created after June for participation.

3) If your project was created before June but is not considered mature or has not won multiple awards, and if it undergoes significant updates during the hackathon, you are also welcome to participate.

4) The minimum score for a project to win in the main track is 5. If a track identifies the top three projects based on final scores, but any project has a score below 5, it will not be eligible for a prize.

Judging Criteria

Preliminary review 50% Technical dimension

1) Technical difficulty (20%): The problem solved has a certain technical threshold and there is a certain breakthrough at the technical level;

2) Project completion (20%): The project is fully realized, not just the concept, and the Demo/POC display is complete;

3) Standardization (10%): The project is submitted within the specified time and the content is standardized.

(The preliminary review will mainly review the project's code submission (the smart contract open source is required, at least), new features, test improvements, inheritance, deployment, etc. during the hackathon. Submitting a project with a clear history will help the reviewers understand the actual development work of the project.)

Final 50% Business Dimension

1) Commercial value (20%): Can solve problems and be used in industry scenarios you know;

2) Innovation (20%): Novel ideas, breakthroughs, breaking conventional thinking;

3) User experience (10%): Including how intuitive and understandable the submitted solution is to potential users.

(The team participating in the demo is determined by the score of the technical preliminary review. After the demo is completed, the review can be adjusted based on the situation of the demo and the actual developed functions.)
