🏗️ Prerequisites

Beta Access

✅ How to submit your project

Submission Requirements:

All submissions need to deploy to Holesky Testnet and include the following:

Incorporate unique use cases or implementation
A 5-minute demo illustrating the project in comprehensive detail
Links to your code repository, website and socials to help judges review your submission. If the participant's website is private, the project must include login credentials in its testing instructions.
In the README: detail why your team went with the approaches they did
In the README: experience building on Othentic

Multiple Submissions:

Entrants are allowed to submit more than one submission. However, each submission must be unique and substantially different from the others.

Submission Materials:

All submission materials must be in English, including the demonstration video, text description, and testing instructions, as well as any other materials submitted.

Disclosure:

Projects submitted to other hackathons or challenges need to be disclosed in the submission or README of the project.
The judging panel will evaluate project submissions based on how the team implements their features and the uniqueness of the application.

📄 Rules

Don’t start coding your project before the hackathon officially starts. You can obviously start researching or learning how to use the Othentic Stack, but you must not start coding the project you intend to submit.
If you want to use pre-existing code (e.g. from a prior project you’ve made) you must notify us first in writing, with a detailed explanation of which parts you’ll be re-using. You are, of course, allowed to fork projects (rather than reinventing the wheel). However, your hackathon submission will be judged solely on the merits of what you have achieved during the time of the hackathon itself. If during or after the event, we find that you failed to disclose that you used a pre-existing code, you will be subject to disqualification.
Your project must remain open source and available on the Github repo you submit.
