Flow is a layer one blockchain with a powerful smart contract language (Cadence) and full EVM equivalence (any Solidity, smart contract, or protocol that works on Ethereum or an EVM L2 works on Flow). The network was designed from the ground up to enable consumer crypto applications that scale to mainstream audiences and seamlessly connect to digital ecosystems. It is based on a unique, multi-role architecture, and designed to scale without sharding, allowing for massive improvements in speed and throughput while preserving a developer-friendly, ACID-compliant environment.
Flow has been architected with a clear vision for the future of consumer crypto, and meticulously designed to address the shortcomings of earlier blockchains to ensure scalability, usability, and efficiency are not simply an afterthought. By incorporating critical protocol-level primitives, such as account abstraction and on-chain randomness, as well a powerful transaction model and scalability without sharding, Flow sets itself apart as a blockchain made for those interested in building apps for widespread adoption and developer-friendly innovation. With over 45-million consumer accounts connected to experiences from the NBA, NFL, and Disney, the next killer app is being built on Flow.
Killer apps have the power to create and lead entire industries by addressing a pain point at the perfect moment. As an L1 blockchain designed for mass adoption and consumer-grade products, we believe the next breakthrough will emerge in the form of a Consumer App.
Consumer Apps are consumer products that solve real-world problems by placing the end-user at the heart of the experience. Unlike traditional DeFi or “x-to-earn” products that can feel distant to the average consumer, Flow seeks applications that are accessible, intuitive, and valuable to millions (or billions!). Think ChatGPT for artificial intelligence (AI), and how it made AI approachable and useful for hundreds of millions, enabling even non-experts to create custom AI tools.
The global sports industry is expected to exceed $623 billion by 2026, driven by data, analytics, media, and technology. The Flow blockchain is central to this transformation, powering leading Web3 sports platforms like NBA Top Shot (with over $2 billion transacted), NFL ALL DAY, and other major sports collectibles. Flow is changing fan interactions by enabling immersive experiences, data-driven engagement, and new revenue models. With Flow, you can build the next generation of sports apps, and connect with engaged communities across the ecosystem.
Web3 Sports Use Cases:
Awarded to the developer (or team) who provides the most valuable feedback on the developer experience while building on Flow. Although the $500 prize is reserved for one winner, we will be offering additional prizes to ALL teams who submit feedback (see requirements below) alongside their project.
The Pool Prize will be evenly distributed to all qualifying projects (excluding those that win a separate prize).

Through its innovative declarative blockchain and Pint, a constraint-based language for programmable intents, Essential enables developers to create scalable applications that prioritize optimal user outcomes. This approach aims to reduce extractive behaviors and enhance user satisfaction, positioning Essential at the forefront of the next paradigm shift in blockchain technology.
Pint (short for “programmable intents”) is Essential’s DSL for declarative smart contracts. The term declarative means that code written in Pint is focused on defining logic and not execution.
This prize will be awarded to the teams that deliver the most polished DeFi primitives using Pint. Projects should feature smart contracts written in Pint, as well as a user-friendly front-end (if relevant to the project). Ideal use cases include, but are not limited to:
The Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) SDK is a powerful tool for programmatic blockchain access through easy-to-use APIs. It allows builders to create onchain applications without worrying about the intricacies of blockchain development.
Use the MPC Wallet APIs to create programmable, secure, and powerful experiences that abstract wallet interaction away from users, perform complex orchestration tasks, and facilitate onchain AI agent execution.
The CDP SDK is available in TypeScript, Ruby, and Python, with more languages coming soon.
Your goal is to use the CDP SDK to create innovative, unique experiences that push the status quo of what’s possible using onchain apps. We’re looking for projects with practical value that leverage the benefits of being onchain, the programmability of MPC Wallets, and the customizability enabled through streamlined API calls.
-Effective use of CDP SDK -Innovation and creativity in solving real-world problems -Even more bonus points for creating a Replit Template or composable building blocks that other devs can use in their implementation!
AI agents can’t get bank accounts, so we believe that crypto will provide the financial rails necessary to unlock the true power of AI. With CDP’s programmable MPC Wallets, AI agents can send and receive payments to/from people, as well as other AI agents. For this prize, create an interesting project that uses AI and incorporates the CDP SDK. One project idea to get you thinking is an AI-enabled onchain game: An onchain game (e.g. dungeon crawler or puzzle) that creates and deploys itself using an autonomous agent, or that has AI NPCs with onchain access.
-Effective use of CDP SDK -Must involve the use of AI technology in some way -Even more bonus points for creating a Replit Template or composable building blocks that other devs can use in their implementation!
Stablecoins are the backbone of much of the crypto-economy, and fintech apps are how many people first begin interacting onchain. For this prize, create an interesting project primarily focused on stablecoins or a novel fintech usecase that incorporates the CDP SDK. One project idea to get you thinking is a Smart Savings Account: an application that uses AI to automatically allocate users' funds between different DeFi savings and investment options based on their goals and risk tolerance, with continuous optimization.
-Effective use of CDP SDK -Must be primarily focused on stablecoins or a novel fintech usecase -Bonus points for creating a Replit Template or composable building blocks that other devs can use in their implementation!
To truly bring the world onchain, we need powerful, innovative, and useful consumer apps. For this prize, create an interesting project primarily focused on gaming, social, or loyalty usecases that incorporates the CDP SDK. Bonus points if it’s understandable for non-crypto developers! One project idea to get you thinking is an Onchain E-Commerce Loyalty Program - a component allowing businesses to easily add token-based loyalty points or badges (NFTs) to their users’ accounts.
-Effective use of CDP SDK -Must be related to consumer crypto usecases like gaming, social, or loyalty -Bonus points for creating a Replit Template or composable building blocks that other devs can use in their implementation!

ENS (Ethereum Name Service) is a decentralised naming protocol for the new internet.
ENS enables you to have a portable web3 username and profile. Use it to establish an online identity, simplify crypto payments for any blockchain, host decentralised websites, and more. ENS supports all DNS names (.com, .xyz, etc.) in addition to our native .eth TLD.
Most people understand ENS' simple use cases (name → address lookup, address → name lookup, etc.), but few explore what else it can be used for. For inspiration, think about naming AI agents or auto-rotating addresses on each name resolution for privacy applications.
It should be obvious how ENS improves your product and is not just implemented as an afterthought. Your demo must be functional and not just include hard-coded values. Upon submission, your project showcase must have a video recording or link to a live demo (ideally both).
Any type of ENS integration is eligible for this prize, from developer tools to consumer social apps that use ENS for identity. Get creative!
An example of a successful project may be a smart contract wallet that mints an ENS subname upon deployment, or unique use cases for text records. If you're building an AI project, consider how ENS can be used to name autonomous agents. Come by our booth for help brainstorming ideas!

Zircuit is a zk rollup with parallelized circuits and AI-enabled security at the sequencer level.Zircuit is a fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup with parallelized circuits and AI-enabled security at the sequencer level. Built by a team of web3 security veterans and PhDs in computer science, algorithms, and cryptography, Zircuit is backed by Pantera Capital, Dragonfly Capital, and Maelstrom.
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.
Integrate Zircuit into your favorite web3 project. Bring Zircuit to wallets, dev tools, bridges, or any other dApp. Grow the Zircuit Ecosystem by connecting Zircuit to the best that web3 has to offer.
Success looks like Zircuit running with an on- or off-chain app or tool that didn’t support it before. The integration should be correct and functional, but does not need to be complicated. Some integrations can be as simple as adding a chain ID or a node URL to a file. The project should have an impact on the Zircuit ecosystem by expanding its reach.
This bounty will be judged based on completeness, usefulness, execution, and creativity.
Zircuit’s EVM compatibility means that everything can scale, securely. Apply your hacking skills to generate the best APY or improve the user experience of DeFi for the masses on Zircuit. This prize will be split among the best DeFi protocols that deploy on Zircuit, with quality, security, and novelty being the deciding factors. Remember: deploying on Zircuit is as easy as changing your endpoint in your favorite development framework and a project is eligible as long as the contracts are deployed on Zircuit and verified.
These DeFi protocols are the ones that will launch a new DeFi summer. Your project should be clearly identifiable as a DeFi protocol. Quality, completeness, and security are paramount. A protocol that lets you (or others!) steal from your users is not a winning submission. Use cases should be well thought out and documented. Through superior UI/UX or novel use cases for staking, your project should aim to give well established DeFi juggernauts cause for concern.
This bounty will be judged based on completeness, execution, and creativity.
