Prizes

🪄 Best Infrastructure on Client-Side Privacy ⸺ $1,500
Here are some topics we think are interesting and worth diving into! We strongly recommend these as starting points, but if you've got awesome Infrastructure ideas, we're totally open to them! 1️⃣ Unified ZK Registry System: currently, registry systems could be fragmented across formats like documents proofs, passports, AA, etc. We would love to see solutions to unfied the registry system. 2️⃣ NFC Feature Exploration: we've seen explorations of NFC feature integration with Mopro, such as utilizing chips embedded in ETHGlobal wristbands for proof generation. For this interesting direction that could greatly improve UX, we would love to see further developments on these capabilities on both UX and DevEx. 👉 Please make sure to check out these project ideas for inspiration!

Qualification Requirements

- Built with, or integrated with, the Mopro stack or zkPDF - If using Mopro, PoC must be capable of running on mobile devices; live demo preferred - If using zkPDF: projects should utilize the zkPDF stack without requiring a full server deployment for proof generation — remote proving or a prover network is sufficient.

🎨 Best Applications on General Privacy ⸺ $3,500
