Prizes

🌟 Best Project Deployed on Zircuit$3,500
The best project that deploys on Zircuit will win this prize. The code should be well engineered, tested, and have a compelling use case. These gems are the projects that will inspire future hackathon projects because of their outstanding quality. Remember: deploying on Zircuit is as easy as changing your endpoint in your favorite development framework. As long as the contracts are deployed on Zircuit and verified, the project is eligible. A successful submission will include a functional prototype that solves the problem it’s intended to address. It will showcase some innovation/creativity, either through technological or UI improvements. It may be complete and solve a long-standing open problem or introduce something with a lot of potential for future development. Either way, it has an impact on the Zircuit ecosystem. Winning projects should have a user-centered design that makes it easy for the target audience. This can be end users or developers integrating the project into their own codebase. The best may also include clean and consistent visual designs. Any interesting blockchain applications are welcome. Novel ideas are more impressive than clones of existing projects, though there are certainly times where clones include significant improvements. Those that are very technical may impress the judges if done correctly but simpler ideas may be easier to do well. This bounty will be judged based on completeness, execution, and creativity.

Qualification Requirements

- Project contracts must be deployed on the Zircuit Mainnet or Garfield Testnet and verified via the Zircuit Explorer. - A GitHub repository containing the project artifacts (contracts, tests, documentation) and a solid README or short video demo of the project. The README should include: 1) a clear short one-sentence description of your submission 2) a short description of what you integrated Zircuit with and how 3) short description of the team and their backgrounds 4) clear instructions for testing the integration 5) feedback describing your experience with building on Zircuit 6) optionally, a short video demo or slide deck.

🧩 Best use of Account Abstraction$2,000
Zircuit is an early adopter of EIP-7702 which brings some account abstraction on-chain. This bounty is to use this functionality in a new and complete way on-chain. This can include deploying contracts to delegate to, interfaces to use the new transaction types, and more. Remember: deploying on Zircuit is as easy as changing your endpoint in your favorite development framework. You may need to use command line tools to use 7702 functionality (see the links!). A successful submission will include a functional prototype that solves the problem it’s intended to address.

🐱 Best App Idea$4,500
Up to 3 teams will receive $1,500
Have a world-changing idea but not necessarily any code? This is your chance to shape the future of the Zircuit ecosystem with nothing but your creativity and strategic thinking. The best submission will be a compelling, well-architected concept for a “killer app” on Zircuit—an application so impactful it inspires builders, excites users, and becomes a reference point for future innovation. This prize is for visionary thinkers, and code isn’t required. We're looking for: - A clear and detailed problem statement - A compelling solution that leverages Zircuit’s unique capabilities (Sequencer level security, account abstraction support, or simply the network performance) - A functional architecture diagram or component layout (this can be text or image based, but be sure to convince us that you’ve thought about the pieces) - A well-written pitch: how it works, why it matters, and who it’s for. Winning projects may also include user journeys, token mechanics (if applicable), market research, and plans for future development.

Qualification Requirements

- A GitHub repository containing the artifacts described above, or links to them. - A clear short one-sentence description of your submission, followed by another sentence explaining why you think your team should win. - Short description of the team and their backgrounds - (Optional) a pitch video or slide deck - (Optional) proof-of-concept source code.
