DETAILS

Bounty Details

Build something awesome using Chainlink! Anything that came from the Chainlink Documentation counts - using CCIP, Functions, Price Feeds, Data Streams, PoR, VRF or Automation.
You can see examples of successful implementations of Chainlink services here

The 2 Best Projects using Chainlink will win the following prizes:

  • 💵 $1,000 Cash
  • 🎫 2 x SmartCon'24 Tickets - worth $1,596

Possible use cases for CCIP:

  • Cross Chain Web3 Game Using Avalanche Teleporter and CCIP
  • Use our CCIP Local Simulator to speed up your development on your local Hardhat, Foundry or Remix network, then use our Faucet to easily get testnet funds when you're ready for testnet.

Functions use cases - examples:

  • Generative AI NFTs using Chainlink Functions
  • Censorship resistant news headline aggreagator that uses Chainlink Functions and prominent news APIs
  • Verifiable AI: Can use Functions to verify the output of an AI LLM, & get an attestation that the output is correct & what the LLM actually outputted

Requirements:

  • To qualify for this special Bounty, you must be competing in either the Gaming, Music and Media track or the Security and Interoperability track
  • Each project must use Chainlink in some form to make a state change on a blockchain, otherwise it will not be eligible. 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 Chainlink services together 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.

Judging criteria for all tracks:

  • UI/UX/DX - How useful is your application? Is it visually appealing?
  • Blockchain technology application - How valuable this project is for decentralization and adoption of Blockchain and Web3
  • Wow Factor - Anything not covered above! This is if you blow us away in some other way.
