### OP Stack Track

**🚀 Best Superchain Dev Tools & Infra - $8K**

Create developer tools or infrastructure for OP Stack developers. This can be infra that seamlessly supports multiple chains, resources that haven’t been adapted to OP Stack yet, or libraries that help solve user pain when navigating across chains. If you’re thinking about things like cross-chain messaging, transfers, and deployment, this is your category - especially if you have ideas for indexers and block explorers.

_First place wins $5K; second wins $2K; third wins $1K._

🖖 **Best OP Stack Fork - $5K**

Create a mod, hack, or otherwise off-label creation that forks OP Stack and does something awesome with it. This can be replacing one of the layers, or converting it to another product entirely.

*One winner wins $5K.*


### OP Mainnet Track

💫 **Best App for RetroPGF, Public Goods, or Measuring Impact - $6K**

Optimism’s [**RetroPGF](https://app.optimism.io/retropgf)** is changing the way impactful software is rewarded. The Optimism Collective funds projects that promote the growth of the Optimism ecosystem. You build projects with impact, you get paid. To achieve this, we need to be able to measure impact across the ecosystem.

For this bounty, create an app on OP Mainnet that can be used to track impact – of people, of products, of other apps, wherever you see value collecting. This can include identity tools, influence measurements, and clever uses of attestations. Bonus points: leverage Ethereum Attestation Service.

*First place wins $3K; second wins $2K; third wins $1K.*

🏊‍♀️ **$5,000 Super Pool Prize**

Deploy your app on OP Mainnet ***and*** Base ****and**** Zora, all three OP Chains in Superhack. The best five (determined by OP Labs) receive $1K each. Testnet deployments are also valid for each chain.

Pro tip: use the [Optimism SDK](https://sdk.optimism.io/) to make this super easy.

*Five teams will win $1K each.*

🟡 **Build a Consumer Product: $7K**

Leveraging Base, build a user friendly consumer product. Be creative!

***First place wins $4K; second wins $2K; third wins $1K***

🔵 **Base Native: $5K**

Find and improve libraries, frameworks, wallets, and applications so that they natively support Base (constants, providers, etc.). Find as many open source crypto repositories as possible that do not have native Base support, fork, modify, and get your pull request reviewed and merged. Only the first merged PR for a repository counts. Open source projects are weighted based on number of stars and development velocity. Update as many repositories as possible.

***First place wins $3K; second wins $2K***

🔥 **Account Abstraction: $6K**

Join us in bringing the next cohort of users onchain. Provide a prototype of account abstraction that helps to simplify the user experience on Base. Deploy a project utilizing a paymaster based on specific user criteria, such as holding an NFT or previous onchain activity. Create a subscription service that is easier to consume and manage by being onchain.

***First place wins $3K; second wins $2K; third wins $1K***

🛠️ Base Nodes: $2K

Help improve the Base node documentation, setup, and operations. This can be bootstrapping new nodes from a snapshot to improved deployment and start/stop scripts. Optimize the Base Docker file or image. Enable builders to also run Ethereum L1 nodes or Helm Charts to help automate deployments. Find ways to improve monitoring / telemetry for different platforms.

***Two teams will win $1K each***

**$20,000 USD** are up for grabs at the hackathon for devs who build on top of World ID, distributed as follows:

- **$5000** to the Best Overall 🥇
- **$2500** to the Most Creative Use Case 🧞
- **$2500** to the Best Governance App 🧑‍⚖️ 
(This can include democratic voting, DAO governance, etc…)
- **$2500** to the Best AI Use Case 🤖 
(This can include AI safety, reputation systems, or any idea leveraging AI)
- **$2500** to the Best Sign in with Worldcoin App 🔑
- Up to 2x **$1000** to Honorable Mentions 🏆
- **$3000** Prize Pool - distributed equally among all qualifying submissions 🏊

**Make it Easy**

Make the lives of developers or users of Zora Network or Superchain easier. (e.g. New minting methods, multi-chain minting, bridging)

**Make it Fun**

Make Ethereum even more enjoyable with polished, slick, and cool product experiences.

**Make it Wow**

Make weird, novel, and experimental things that may or may not work. Blow us away with something we didn’t even know was possible.

**Winners**

The 10 best projects deployed on Zora Network or built with Zora Protocols, regardless of category, will win a prize of $2,000.


ZORA

- 🥇 Best Use of Permissionless Interoperability:  $4k USD
    
    To be eligible for the prize, [deploy Hyperlane](https://docs.hyperlane.xyz/docs/deploy/deploy-hyperlane) on your own OP Chain! Give your OP Chain limitless connectivity with Hyperlane. The way you use your new interoperability capabilities will determine your chances of winning the grand prize. You could use Hyperlane to connect your OP Chain with any other and do something amazing! Once you’ve connected your OP Chain, think about creative ways to build an Interchain Application, to leverage Warp Routes, or to create a unique bit of infrastructure. The most technically impressive and creative submission will win the grand prize.

- 🎼 Best Interchain Application: $2k USD
    
    An interchain application is an application that communicates between different blockchains.  It can either transfer assets or make interchain function calls. The winner of this prize will be the most impressive application that makes use of Hyperlane and benefits from its presence on multiple blockchains. This is a perfect opportunity to build a robust DeFi app as a unique OP Chain!

- 💸 Best Use of Hyperlane Warp Routes: $2k USD
    
    Warp Routes are Hyperlane’s unique take on token bridging. They are unique and instanced expression of bridging as opposed to the traditional omnibus token bridge design. Each Warp Route can have its own security model, using Hyperlane’s Interchain Security Modules.

- 🚝 Best Hyperlane Infrastructure: $2k USD
    
    This category is for building infrastructure that either enhances Hyperlane or makes use of Hyperlane's capabilities. Maybe you’ll build a customized Deploy tool to bundle Hyperlane with any OP Chain deployment? Or perhaps you’d build a way to more easily connect OP Chains with Hyperlane?

- 🌐 New Interchain Security Modules (ISMs): $2k USD
    
    Hyperlane’s Modular Security Stack is based on a range of Interchain Security Modules that developers can use to secure the way applications communicate between chains. Some ISMs are already available, and more are being developed. The hackathon is a great chance to build new ones.

More prize info here at the [Hackathon Guide](https://hyperlanexyz.notion.site/Hackathon-Success-Guide-ba09d3ae19134ed496ac3f2d8953e5e4?pvs=4)

Build and deploy an innovative app or tool to Mode. Your project should provide unique functionalities and value-added features to users in the Mode ecosystem.
 
**$2000 to Best Developer Tool 🤝**\
Build a useful tool for developers on Mode. This can be anything - infrastructure, tools that exist on other chains but not yet on Mode, integrations with existing developer tooling, or libraries that help developers build on Mode.

**$2000 to Most Weird and Viral Idea 🤪**\
Now’s your time to be creative! This will be awarded to wacky use-cases that we haven’t seen before, the type of application that will go viral and help onboard users to web3. 

**$2000 to Best Use of AI 🤖**\
Build a dapp or tool with the use of AI tools such as OpenAI, Midjourney, or any other AI library. To qualify for this prize, make sure you include in your description which AI tool you are using and how it works within your project. 

**$1000 Prize Pool - distributed among all qualifying submissions 🎱**\
Build and deploy a project to Mode to qualify for this prize.
