About

Axiom is the first ZK coprocessor scaling data-rich applications on Ethereum. Axiom gives smart contracts trustless access to all on-chain historic data and verified compute over that data. With Axiom, developers can build on-chain applications that use data like historic contract variables, transactions, and receipts that smart contracts cannot access through the EVM. All results returned by Axiom are verified by a ZK proof, meaning that they have security cryptographically equivalent to Ethereum itself. The Axiom SDK and frontend give teams with as few as a single developer the ability to build powerful apps making use of the latest advances in ZK. Developers can write and deploy their own ZK circuit, reference historic on-chain data, and integrate into their application, all through an easy-to-use Typescript interface. ------------------- We will be judging projects across a few key criteria: - Technical depth: how technically ambitious was the project and how well was it executed with clean code and thorough documentation? - Creativity: does the project provide a creative approach to a clear problem? - Protocol design: did the team carefully think through the important design considerations for their project? - Demo: quality of the demo and presentation

Prizes

▼

🏆 Best overall use of Axiom ⸺ $2,000

This prize is for the best overall use of Axiom. We’re especially interested in applications leveraging Axiom to target a real-world problem—bonus points for applications with the potential to be commercialized as a product or service.

Qualification Requirements

Your application should fully integrate Axiom. The application should be working and the codebase should be open source. The app must be available for testing on a live url.

▼

🤝 Most Collaborative ⸺ $2,000

Axiom unlocks smart contract capabilities that allow it to enhance the functionality of other protocols. This prize will be awarded to the project with the best integration with another protocol. We’re looking for projects that can leverage Axiom in another protocol to elevate the value that the project can deliver.

Qualification Requirements

Your application should fully integrate Axiom with at least one other protocol. The application should be working and the codebase should be open source. The app must be available for testing on a live url.

🆔 Best use of Axiom for on-chain identity and reputation ⸺ $2,000

Axiom unlocks access to on-chain historical data which are critical inputs to on-chain identity and reputation. This prize is for the best use of Axiom for on-chain identity and reputation within a DApp. Think about how data such as progress in an on-chain game, historical token balances, past NFT ownership, age of an account, or historical governance participation might help determine an account’s on-chain identity and reputation. Incorporate one or perhaps layer a few of these together in your application.

Qualification Requirements

Your application should fully integrate Axiom. The application should be working and the codebase should be open source. The app must be available for testing on a live url.

📒 Best use of Axiom for DeFi ⸺ $2,000

This prize will be awarded to the team with the best use of Axiom for DeFi. You may build an application on top of other DeFi apps such as via Uniswap V4 hooks, or a standalone DeFi Application. You might consider looking at transaction history across specific DeFi Protocols, or maybe aggregate statistics such as total volume transacted, total gas paid in previous transactions, or overall account performance over a set time period.

Qualification Requirements

Your application should fully integrate Axiom. The application should be working and the codebase should be open source. The app must be available for testing on a live url.

🤲 Best use of Axiom for on-chain incentivization ⸺ $2,000

Axiom gives smart contracts access to rich on-chain data that can be used for Web3 native customer acquisition and retention. This prize is for the best use case leveraging Axiom for incentivizing your users on-chain. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing: - Allow dapps to offer fee discounts or special benefits based on past usage (volume transacted, past ownership of NFTs, or governance participation). - You can offer benefits to your application’s most loyal users... or the most loyal users of your competitors. - Airdrop reward for protocol users with certain previous on-chain activity

Qualification Requirements

Your application should fully integrate Axiom. The application should be working and the codebase should be open source. The app must be available for testing on a live url.
