Calimero Network is a framework that enables building and running peer-to-peer Self-Sovereign applications focusing on data ownership and harnessing the power of verified off-chain computing.

2. What is Starknet?

Starknet is the secure scaling technology bringing Ethereum’s benefits to the world.

3. Who should apply to the hackathon?

Developers, entrepreneurs, and innovators interested in building privacy-focused decentralized applications (dApps) using both the Calimero and Starknet technology stacks are encouraged to apply. Both solo and team applications will be accepted.

4. What are the requirements to participate?

Participants must use the Calimero and Cairo SDKs to build dApps that prioritize privacy and decentralized data ownership. Each team must also prepare a pitch deck that details their project, which doesn’t need to be visually polished but should include all relevant information. The hackathon is open to global participants, and there are no restrictions based on geographic location.

5. Where can I download the SDKs?

Calimero SDK: https://github.com/calimero-network/core.git/
Cairo SDK: https://docs.starknet.io/tools/devtools/sdks/

6. Judging Criteria

The projects will be judged based on the following criteria:

Utilization of Calimero and Cairo SDKs: How effectively does the project integrate with both Calimero and Starknet technologies?
Creativity: How innovative and unique is the project idea?
Technical Complexity: How challenging is the technical implementation of the project?
Real-World Impact: Does the project address a real-world problem or create value?
Scalability: Is the solution scalable for larger audiences or use cases?
User Experience: How intuitive and user-friendly is the application?

7. What are the benefits for winners?

The total reward pool for the hackathon is $25,000.

8. Who are the judges?

The judging panel will include industry experts, investors, and senior representatives from Calimero and the Starknet ecosystem.

9. What additional resources are available for participants?

Participants will have access to dedicated mentorship from experts in both Calimero and Starknet, along with technical support during the hackathon. Workshop will also be provided to guide participants through using the SDKs and integrating both technologies to build innovative solutions.
