The project should harness the full potential of the Kinode platform in an innovative way, creating an application that leverages its built-in primitives such as peer-to-peer messaging, decentralized architecture, and Web3 integration.
Projects can fit into any genre: For example Social, Games, DeFi or Productivity. They can be clones of existing projects, whether web2 or web3, as long as they use the KinodeOS in some way. Ideas should be possible to get a minimum-viable version running in a day, but have potential for further development to fully-featured product.
Some ideas for inspiration:
- Create a competitive game that awards crypto assets to winners
- Use zkTLS / “web proofs” to generate a simple prediction market for some
TLS-certified events (NFL game results, weather, box office stats)
- Token-gated bulletin boards / forums
- Discord / Telegram / Twitter client or bot with unique feature(s)
Whether you are a solo developer or part of a team, this prize seeks to recognize creativity, technical excellence, and the potential for future development.
