Summary

After a successful first round, Planq and Dorahacks are teaming up to host the second round of the long-term developer grant program. Developers can complete tasks and receive rewards in Planq's native token $PLQ. This strategic collaboration aims to foster innovation and engage the developer community in enhancing Planq's ecosystem.

Planq is a secure, decentralized mobile-first layer 1 blockchain that combines the speed and interoperability of Cosmos with the developer power of Ethereum. Planq is building a feature-rich ecosystem of EVM-compatible applications accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. Planq runs a proof-of-stake consensus powered by its native $PLQ token.

The Planq Coin (PLQ) is the native currency of the Planq blockchain, built on the Cosmos-SDK and leveraging the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) for smart contracts written in Solidity. It is using the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism which is realized with Tendermint technology. A key element of the Planq solution is the Cosmos-SDK which supports modular blockchain extensions, which can expand the chain functionality with ease.

Applications for the Planq blockchain can be coded using the Solidity language. Applications from Ethereum, and other EVM compatible applications, can be easily forked over and integrated into the Planq ecosystem.

The focus for Round 2 is on the following themes: NFT marketplace (priority), Dashboard( PlanqFi), EVM staking, KYC NFT, Decentralized identifiers (DIDs), Governance, Price tracker, Oracle, Mobile game, Mobile payment integrations, Move-2-earn, De-Pin.

Focus, however, does not mean that the themes are exhaustive. On the contrary, do you have an application that can really contribute something to the Planq ecosystem? Do not hesitate to apply. Please keep in mind that we prefer applications that fit into the mobile-first narrative. Planq is working on the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA). Parallel to that, Planq invites builders to build RWA/tokenization infrastructure, protocols, and to launch their own RWA dApps on the Planq Blockchain.

Key dates

Round two will run from 01-02-2024 to 01-05-2024. The decision-making phase will start on 02-05-2024 and will end on 12-05-2024. In this period the Planq Core Team could invite various dev teams for an introductory meeting

Requirements for submissions

A GitHub must be linked in the submission;

  • A demo video illustrating the project in comprehensive detail;
  • All submission materials must be in English, including the demonstration - - video, text description, and testing instructions, as well as any other materials submitted.

Criteria

  • Is the user experience and design of the project well thought out?

  • How big of an impact could the project have on the Planq ecosystem?

  • Quality of the Idea How creative and unique is the project?

Your project may fit into one of the following tracks:

Applications

  • NFT marketplace (priority)
  • Dashboard, such as a dashboard to view the overall health of Planq, such as the amount of tokens staked;
  • Price tracker;
  • Mobile game;
  • Mobile payment application;
  • Move-2-earn;
