Judging Criteria

KiiChain will evaluate our developers based on the following six criteria:

  1. Originality and Creativity: We value revolutionary and unique ideas that provide new solutions to the blockchain ecosystem.
  2. Impact on the Ecosystem: We look for projects that generate a high positive impact on the KiiChain ecosystem, improving functionality, and accessibility for all users.
  3. Security and Robustness: Security is paramount! We will evaluate the robustness and reliability of smart contracts to ensure the protection of user data and assets.
  4. Efficiency and Performance: We will consider the efficiency in the use of resources and the general performance of the smart contract, ensuring fast, and economical transactions.
  5. Scalability and Interoperability: We are interested in projects being able to grow and adapt to a growing number of users, and transactions without losing quality, or security. That they can easily connect with other blockchains taking advantage of the interoperability of KiiChain with CometBFT.
  6. Simplicity and Usability: We appreciate intuitive and easy-to-use designs that allow for a quick hassle-free adoption by end users.

With these criteria, KiiChain seeks to promote innovation, and excellence in the development of smart contracts during our mega hackathon with DoraHacks.
