2. Funding Disclosure

Please take note that this is an investment based hackathon and projects will be required to commit an allocation amount in return for the investment prize pool. Therefore, before you start uploading your projects, you need to fill out the Avalanche Asia Hackathon Funding Submission Form. Otherwise the project will not be eligible for the Investment prize.

3. Deep dive into Avalanche

During the Hackathon, there are a series of workshops to help you get a full understanding of Avalanche consensus and dApps building.

4. Prepare for Project Demo

We will conduct multiple rounds of project demos, so that the projects will get more attention in the morning, increase project exposure, attract more votes for the quadratic funding platform and further investment opportunities.

5. Compete for the juicy awards

After the Hackathon, Avalanche Asia will work with the panel of judges consisting of distinguished figures from important funds to select the top projects for the investment prize pool and follow-up incubation to help the projects grow.

Grants and Prizes

Majority of the total prize pool will be reserved for the top 10 winning projects across all the sectors listed (DeFi, Web3, Metaverse, NFT, Gamefi, Infrastructure & tooling) by direct investment and will be awarded based on decisions of the judging panel comprising of many prominent figures within the space. This is an unprecedented opportunity to be funded by top funds like AVATAR, Blizzard, A&T, NGC, SNZ & many more.

Also, more than  $500,000 will be given to projects through quadratic funding on DoraHacks website where the community gets to decide who can get funded with their votes.

There will be multiple quadratic funding pools where the community can participate meaningfully in this Hackathon by voting for projects that they think will benefit the Avalanche ecosystem most and be potentially rewarded for it so stay tuned!
