Polymer Labs - $10,000
Polymer is Ethereum’s Interoperability Hub, connecting Ethereum Layer 2’s using the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol.
Challenge: Crafting the First Modular IBC Client for OP x Celestia Rollups
We challenge developers to construct an IBC light client tailored for the unique requirements of OP x Celestia rollups. This modular client must adeptly integrate L2 state root verification with data availability checks from Celestia, ensuring a holistic validation of transactions.
By accomplishing this, Polymer Hub will be empowered to not only confirm the L2 state but also ascertain the publication and integrity of essential transaction data on Celestia. This breakthrough will significantly bolster the security framework for Celestia-backed OP stack rollups, facilitating seamless cross-communication and fostering robust confidence in settlements on Ethereum.
Your Mission
- Design and develop an IBC light client that seamlessly merges L2 state root verification with data availability proofs from Celestia.
Expected Impact
- Elevate the security paradigm for OP stack rollups using Celestia for DA, enabling them to maintain rigorous safety profiles while benefiting from modular scalability solutions.

Astria - $5,000
Astria's Shared Sequencer Network enables multiple rollups to permissionlessly use a single decentralized network that provides fast, censorship resistant preconfirmations.
Prizes
Best Non-EVM Rollup — $5,000
The majority of today’s rollups use the Ethereum Virual Machine (EVM) resulting in a large number of technically undifferentiated rollups. Astria’s execution API simplifies modular rollup development by providing a streamlined interface for sequencing and executing transactions regardless of a rollup’s specific state machine. Explore the forefront of blockchain innovation by using our Execution API to develop a novel rollup architecture, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized applications. Our team has created a minimum viable messenger rollup in go which can be used as a reference point for integrating a client with Astria’s execution API.

Kurtosis - $2,000
Kurtosis is a devtool for building packages of containerized services that are composable, parametrizable, and modular. What does that actually mean for you? Distributed systems like L1s and L2s involve a complex fabric of dependencies and critical services. These are challenging to spin up consistently and reliably. Kurtosis defines instructions for spinning these services up, think a happy medium between a declarative build config like a docker compose file and the expressiveness of python, but you get the best of both.
Prizes
Solving Rollup Infra Interop — $2,000
Blobs are coming and rollups are here. We will need every hand on board to make sure rollups are equipped to meet every need and use case. This means oracles, faucets, bridges, and more. Kurtosis provides the framework and instructions to make sure these components work together, now all we need is the building blocks. Build packages for critical rollup infrastructure, these can be individual services, a combination of them, or full workflows. We will be looking specifically for packages that work well with other new or existing packages, for example, a roll up package or bridge package that runs on top of the ethereum package.

Abstract MyFi: Best SocialFi Application built using Rollkit + CosmWasm + Abstract — $2,500
Abstract applications are account-based, meaning that every Abstract App is just an Abstract Account with Modules installed on it. When an Abstract App is “installed” by the end-user, they are creating a sub-account on their main account and literally instantiating the application components, meaning all apps are “self-hosted” and non-custodial. This opens up the doors for highly unique applications where the users always remain in full control, such as in social media or community-based platforms, oft-coined “SocialFi,” though as Abstract infra is fully owned by You, it’s “MyFi.” This works very well with rollups, as the rollups themselves can scale as the social media platform scales in size.
Why MyFi? In DeFi, we are using decentralized, but still custodial, applications for our finances. Web3 is about self-sovereignty and ownership, and those rights are still being relinquished to now on-chain financial services. These services can update the contracts, migrate ownership, and all can potentially rug you. Using Abstract, every app you interact with is fully controlled by YOU. Blockchain gives us the tools we need for public financial infrastructure, and using these same tools, we can build personal financial infrastructure. As a user, I’d want this financial infrastructure to be customized to ME, and feel like MINE. Abstract MyFi brings this dream to reality.
Social finance focuses on the social applications of DeFi. Its goal is to create a more fair and financially inclusive online ecosystem where users have greater control over their content and can directly benefit from their online activities.
On traditional social media platforms, users create accounts on their servers, relinquishing control of all content and activities to the platform. With Abstract, Apps are literally installed on users’ Accounts, meaning that meaning that they’re fully sovereign and controlled by them. This flips the control model, and the platform simply provides an interface that accesses functionality available on the users’ Accounts.
For example, let’s say that we were building a social media platform on Abstract. This Abstract App would include:
- Profile module - allowing for creation and management of of a user-profile NFT
- Posts module - allowing for publishing of NFT posts on a specific profile, with means of “purchasing” the posts from end-users
- Social points module - allows other users to buy “shares” in an individual via bonding curves or other mechanism.
- Marketplace module - allowing for users to list and sell items
For this track, create a socialFi application that would require a user to install it on their Account before they can access the platform. We’d like you to think about novel incentive mechanisms, media ownership, and NFTs.
To qualify:
- Deploy a CosmWasm Rollup using Rollkit
- Use cw-orchestrator to deploy Abstract’s on-chain app infrastructure
- Use the Abstract SDK to write a novel application using it’s Account-based application model. Users must install it to participate in something socially, like FriendTech, reviews, etc.
- Create a frontend where users can install the app on their own account and interact with other installations of the app
Disqualifiers:
- Single-app instances, where the application is “hosted” on one Account.
- This app should be fully owned by the end-user, with the platform conforming to their installation.
- Apps can have factories and other contracts that orchestrate information like multi-queriers or -executors.
- Apps can have factories and other contracts that orchestrate information like multi-queriers or -executors.
We encourage all hackers to be as creative and innovative as possible for this. If you have an idea and are unsure how it can be built, please reach out to us on Discord.
Interchain MyFi BONUS (reach out to us):
One of the best use cases for Abstract (and the reason our original name was Abstract OS) is for personal rollups. Using Interchain Abstract Accounts (ICAAs), you can use this rollup to control any account on any blockchain connected via IBC. Here's an overview and code walkthrough. You can also use these ICAAs to interact with any other DeFi primitive on the interchain, using our DeFi adapters. This means you can create fully self-sovereign DeFi strategies spanning multiple chains. If you are interested in pursuing this, please reach out to us on Discord and we can guide you through the process of working with them. This requires knowledge of IBC and cross-chain execution. We have advanced tooling to support this use case.
