In order to be eligible, your BUIDL submission must include the following 3 elements. \n\n**1. Project Description** \nYou can submit this description in the project description box in Dorahacks or as a Google Slides presentation. Write-ups must be a minimum of 250 words.\n\nWrite a summary of your idea that includes the following points:\n- What problem does your idea solve?\n- Who is the intended audience for your idea (B2B, B2C, an industry vertical, etc.)? How does it improve their user experience?\n- Describe your idea in detail, including how it uses IBC.\n\n**2. Include your exported JSON link from the IBC Idea Builder in your Dorahacks submission under the “social links” category.** \n\n**3. Ensure all required sections of the Dorahacks BUIDL are completed.

[Read our blog post](https://www.ibcprotocol.dev/blog/how-to-win-ideahacker-s-guide-to-ibc) for a detailed explanation.\n\n# ✅ Submission Eligibility\nAll submissions must use the IBC Protocol’s cross-chain capabilities. \n\nIt is *not* required to submit a Github repository or code base with your idea. \n\nIdeathon submissions can be for any ecosystem, not just Cosmos/the interchain. You are welcome to develop an innovative IBC-based idea for any ecosystem.\n\nIdea submissions are accepted from both individuals and teams. Teams can be a maximum of two people. \n\nYou can enter ideas into more than one track, but you can only win 1 prize per each track you enter. You cannot submit an idea to more than 1 track, as it will be automatically ineligible.\n\n\n# 📝 Judging Criteria\n\nA panel of judges will judge IBC Ideathon submissions based on a review of the idea description and the IBC Idea Builder export. It’s important that participants spend time on a thorough and well-thought-out submission. \n\nIBC Ideathon submissions will be judged on the below criteria:\n- **Originality** - Has this idea been done before as a cross-chain use case? Is it unique?\n- **User Experience** - Who is the target audience? Does the idea improve the day-to-day user experience of the target audience? This question applies to all ideas, including those targeting B2C, B2B, infrastructure, etc.\n- **Technicality** - How difficult is the problem you’re solving? How thoroughly have you evaluated the impacts of your solution? How well does the idea use IBC’s features & applications?\n- **Wow Factor** - Buffer points for anything not captured in the above pieces of criteria!\n\n# 📮 How to Submit your Entry as a BUIDL\n\n## Tutorial Video\n\n![YouTube](https://youtu.be/yWhQPzxptg0)\n\n## **Getting Started [3-5 MIN]**\n\n**1.** **Submit your BUIDL via [DoraHacks.io](https://dorahacks.io/).

It’s a hackathon just for ideas.

While developers are welcome, participants do not need to be one to join. \n\n# 🏆 Prizes and Tracks\nThe best ideas will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Istanbul and part of the $30,000 prize pool in ATOM tokens. **Each of the 5 tracks will have 5 prize winners:**\n- $3,000 first place\n- $1,500 second place\n- 3 third place winners at $500 each\n\nFor a detailed breakdown, visit the [Prizes and Tracks](https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/ideahackers-guide-to-ibc/prizes-and-tracks) tab.\n\n# 🛠️ How Ideahacker’s Guide to IBC Works\nThe IBC Ideathon is a global, online competition designed to push the boundaries of cross-chain innovation using the world's largest and most widely adopted blockchain interoperability protocol, the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC). \n\nThe Ideathon is intended as an accessible event for developers and non-technical builders to explore the IBC protocol’s capabilities. \n\nThe difference between the IBC Ideathon and a traditional hackathon is that Ideathon participation takes much less time and energy than participating in a hackathon. Ideathon participants submit an idea rather than a Github code base or proof-of-concept product.\n\nThis being said, the winning ideas must be high-quality and genuinely innovative. \n\nParticipating is a simple process:\n- Register as a hacker on Dorahacks. \n- Use the [IBC Idea Builder](http://ideabuilder.ibcprotocol.dev/) to visually map out your IBC idea. \n- Export the JSON link for your IBC Idea. Add the link to your Dorahacks BUIDL.\n- Add a write-up to your BUIDL.\n- Submit your BUIDL on Dorahacks. \n\nMake sure to read the [eligibility criteria and idea submission instructions.](https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/ideahackers-guide-to-ibc/submission-guide-&-rules) Only high-quality, well-thought-out ideas will be eligible to win prizes. \n\n# 🦾 Why IBC?\n\n![IBC Main Slide.png](https://cdn.dorahacks.io/static/files/191db30cb65c2f8efbaba9143e9a4372.png)\n\nIBC is one of the most widely-adopted interoperability protocols in the world. Over [115 chains are IBC-enabled](https://tfm.com/bridge), and the protocol processes [billions of dollars in asset transfers every 30 days](https://mapofzones.com/zones?columnKey=ibcVolume&period=30d). \n\nIBC enables secure, permissionless, feature-rich cross-chain interactions, like token transfers and general message-passing. Unlike a token bridge contract that sits \"on top of\" a chain, IBC-enabled chains exchange data [without a third-party intermediary](https://x.com/IBCProtocol/status/1750090826271920207). \n\nIBC has several industry-leading features and functionalities beyond basic token transfers.\nUnique IBC features include:\n- **Interchain Accounts and Queries** - Cross-chain account control and data queries.\n- **Cross-chain callbacks** - Smart contracts and modules can be natively cross-chain enabled for adaptable workflows leveraging multiple smart contracts and applications.\n- **NFT transfers** - Send and receive cross-chain NFT transfers.\n- **Cross-chain validation** - A provider chain provides economic security to a consumer chain(s), so the consumer chains do not have to run their own validator sets.\n- **No in-protocol fees** - The IBC Protocol does not charge fees for processing transactions. Users are only responsible for gas fees for the transactions they process.\n\n# 💬 Official Communication Channel\n\nWe provide support for Ideathon participants in the [Interchain Discord](https://discord.gg/interchain) in the channel #ideahackers-guide-to-ibc.
