BUIDL for Web3 Hackathon

We at Lumos Labs are all set to launch #Buidl for Web3 Hackathon - an initiative to push the boundaries of innovation in Web3 for all the #buidlers out there. With an expansive developer base of 60k developers and having collaborated for numerous hackathons and accelerator programmes, we aim to connect with the developer community at all levels of proficiency and scale their innovations in the Web3 ecosystem.

Thus, we are proud to launch #BUIDL for Web3, the largest global hackathon fostering developers to carve their niche in the Web3 ecosystem. The top startups of this Hackathon would be eligible to win from a grand funding pool of $100K, based on judging criterias. And, would stand to receive additional bounties from our global partners. With diverse tracks like DeFi, NFT, Entertainment, Developer Tooling and infrastructure, sustainability-based solutions, governance and DAOs, #BUIDL for Web3 is also chain-agnostic, providing an enticing environment for global developers to innovate without hindrance.

Project Requirements

Once a team or an individual has registered, they are required to share details of their projects as follows:

  • A presentation in the form of a PPT illustrating the entire project consisting of.
    *The Problem Statement *The Proposed Solution *The Tech Stack
  • A demo video of the project
  • A GitHub repository with all the code and a Document with instructions for the reviewer to run the program

Important: Ensure that the links you submit have open access for the reviewers to view the projects.

Judge Criteria & Process

Submissions of tracks will be judged by technical team representatives based on their technical merits as well as the likelihood of implementation.

Submissions of sponsored bounties will be judged by sponsors’ technical team with representatives appointed by the sponsors of individual bounties.

The Judging process of Main Track will be:

  • 5 finalists per sponsor track will be selected based on the aggregated results amongst the judge committee.
  • 3 prize winners per track will be selected based on the aggregated results amongst the judge committee on their live demo outcomes.

The Judging process of Associate Track will be:

  • Upto 3 prize winners per sponsor track will be selected based on the aggregated results amongst the judge committee.

In general, submissions are graded on a 1-5 scale in each of the following categories during both finalist-picking and final-demo process:

  • Originality: Does the template incorporate something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an existing problem?
  • Execution: Is the template usable in its current state? Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work? Is it well designed?
  • Usefulness: Is the idea practical? Is it something people would actually use?
  • Learning: Did the individual or team stretch themselves and push the boundaries of learning in this space?

While all projects are technically eligible for the pool prize, judges (and judge committee of individual bounties) will have the final say on which projects qualify as finalists and winners of individual tracks and bounties of the hackathon.
