Prizes
π Build a Multichain USDC Payment System βΈΊ $4,000
π₯
1st place
$2,500
π₯
2nd place
$1,500

π Enable end users to pay for gas using USDC βΈΊ $2,000
Develop an application that enables users to pay network fees in USDC instead of native tokens by leveraging Circle Paymaster. *Please note that Circle Paymaster currently supports Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon and Unichain Example Use Cases -> DeFi Protocols - Enable USDC as the default gas payment token for transaction activitiy in dApps like Lido, AAVE, etc. -> Simplified transactions - Make it easier for users to perform transactions in USDC or other tokens while network fees are paid from their USDC balance.
