This will also significantly increase your project’s branding and credibility. --- **Stand the chance to get into exchange incubator and priority listing slots** We have the incubator arms of exchanges like Huobi, Kucoin and MEXC onboard as investment sponsors and they will be offering the strong winning projects opportunities to be listed on their exchanges or a slot in their incubation programs. --- **Global ecosystem exposure and partnership opportunities** Having our ecosystem funds and enablers such as Blizzard, AVATAR, Avalaunch, Aventures DAO and Muhabbit Capital as investment sponsors ensures that Avalanche is committed to grow with you and each of them brings strong regional coverage to ensure support in all the key markets. --- **High level of technical & marketing support throughout the hackathon** There will be a full series of workshops to help you get a deep understanding of Avalanche and how to build on the platform throughout the duration of the hackathon. There will also be weekly demo days starting in early March for projects to showcase their BUIDLs and get more exposure with the community. This also gives a chance for projects to create your own rewards for the community that are voting for you as early supporters of your project allowing you to get a bigger portion of the matching funds. --- # Investment Prize & Quadratic Pools The main prize pool of **more than $5,000,000** will be reserved for the **top 10** winning projects across all the sectors listed above and will be awarded as a joint investment from all the sponsors based on decisions of the judging panel comprising of many prominent figures within the space. A $200,000 XAVA pool and a $400,000 AVAX pool will also be available for submitted projects to register for and get the community to vote for them so they can be in the running to win a bigger portion of the matching fund. The XAVA pool allows projects to get early exposure with Avalaunch’s community which will be valuable should they decide to do an IDO on the platform in future. This also gives the opportunity for the community to participate meaningfully in this hackathon by voting for projects they think will bring the most impact to the overall ecosystem with their own tokens. # Hackathon Target Sectors Participating projects have to be **developed on top of Avalanche’s platform** (open to multi-chain solutions too) and focuses on one of the following sectors: - Defi - Metaverse - NFT - Gamefi - Infra & Tooling - Web3 Here are some ideas to kick you off: https://avatar-fund.medium.com/avalanche-hackathon-asia-project-ideas-list-4054ccfb371f # Schedule - Registration period: from Jan. 26, 2022 - Submission period: Feb 1, 2022 - April 15, 2022 - Judging period: April 16, 2022 - April 22, 2022 - Winners Announced: April 24, 2022 - April 30, 2022 - Final BUIDLers’ Day: April 30, 2022 # How to Join --- > · Join the community Please join the Telegram group chat for registration and any questions you need answers: https://t.me/avaxhackers Latest updates will also be shared here.
