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:
* Token contract or NFT contract
* AMM
* Name service
* Lending protocol
* Orderbook DEX
* Perps DEX
* Options protocol
* English or Dutch auction mechanisms
Qualification Requirements
* Use Pint as the primary programming language for smart contract development. * Submit a video demo to showcase your project. * Open-source your project on GitHub with a readme explaining what you’ve built and how it works.
