JUDGING CRITERIA

Each track will be judged by its sponsor team respectively.

Sponsors and their judges reserve the right to give a partial prize or no prize if they do not feel any submission has met the challenge. The judges’ decisions are at their own discretion and final, binding and incontestable.

Although there are different requirements of each track challenge, there are some general criteria as a reference for sponsors and their judges.

  • Solve the challenges: Does this address the track challenges and tie back into the track requirements?...
  • Originality & Innovations: How novel and innovative is the idea? Does it set out to do something unique or at least improve existing models?...
  • Technicality & Design: What is tech like? Is it user-friendly and does it have comprehensive and efficient features? Is it designed to scale?...
  • Business Model & Feasibility: What is the value proposition and how does it set out to differentiate itself? How will it capture the market and/or generate revenue?...
  • Documentation & Usability: Is there a clear explanatory documentation? Is it clean and intuitive such that users not familiar with blockchain can easily interact with the project?...
  • Utility: Providing a clear demonstration video is encouraged.
