decentralized app dapp that leverages one or more stellar smart contracts the main requirement is that users should be able to interact with the application other than that you are free to build whatever you want need inspiration your smart contract dapp could be related to a game where players interact on chain to compete against each other a public goods application where interactions with the dapp could result in real world positive impact a dao or governance related dapp identity tooling financial services like a wallet or payment dapp submission template judging criteria use of underlying technology usability and user experience accessibility creativity create a tutorial create a tutorial that explains some part of the stellar developer experience your submission should be coherent and easy to follow if you are creating a tutorial or walkthrough written or video the audience needs to be able to follow along if you are writing code it should be clear what the code is supposed to do that said we don t require submissions to be long involved or super polished you don t need to be a professional writer to participate and we want to reward efforts big and small need inspiration your tutorial could focus on code examples i e solidity by example fun dapp tutorials i e pet shop tutorial soroban for x developer x another smart contracts platform such as ethereum near or solana submission template judging criteria accuracy of tutorial effectiveness of communication creativity prize categories glorious game awarded to a top game dapp super sustainable awarded to a top dapp that focuses on real world positive impact wonderfully written awarded to a top written tutorial vivid video awarded to a top video tutorial frequently asked questions participation can i submit to multiple prompts yes you are welcome to submit to multiple prompts can one submission qualify for multiple prompts or prize categories yes if your submission offers a solution to multiple prompts prize categories it can qualify for multiple prompts prize categories can i submit to a prompt more than once yes you can submit multiple submissions per prompt but you ll need to publish a separate post for each submission in the event that you may win two or more prompts or prize categories and your submission is very close with another participant we will favor the other participant in the event that you do win two or more prompts you will only receive one winner badge can i work on a team yes you can work on teams of up to four people if you collaborate with anyone you ll need to list their dev handles in your submission post so we can award a badge to your entire team please only publish one submission per team dev does not handle prize splitting so in the event that your submission wins you will need to split the prizes amongst yourselves thank you for understanding how old do i have to be to participate participants need to be 18 in order to participate if i live in x am i eligible to participate for eligibility rules see our official challenge rules please also note that some defi protocols fall under regulatory scrutiny so builders may want to consider building on testnet or gaining an understanding of any regulatory hurdles that they may encounter if they were to move to mainnet ex many yield bearing assets require us citizens to be accredited investors to use legally submission can my submission include open source code riffing on open source code and borrowing and improving on previous work ideas is encouraged but it s important your changes are significant enough to ensure your submission is valid when does riffing become plagiarism it will depend but transparency is important license compatibility is important you can use someone else s code to give you a jumpstart to demonstrate your ideas on top of someone else s base but not just re package the base it should be clear to the judges what you added to the project in terms of the code and conceptual inspiration this means you should clearly state what you were building on and what elements are original to this new submission when building on existing code we expect a significant change that adds something tangible to the output i e a new animation and new sprite a new function a new presentation not just changes to the source i e changing colours changing one sprite changing one function what happens if my submission is considered plagiarized or invalid anything deemed to be plagiarism will not be eligible for prizes incidental plagiarism may simply result in your disqualification from the challenge regardless of the number of other valid submissions you have published egregious plagiarism will result in your suspension from dev entirely any non generic non trivial usage of prior work including open source code must be credited in your submission do submissions have to be in english non english submissions are eligible for a completion badge but not eligible for prizes due to the current limitations of our judges we will not be judging on mastery of the english language so please don t let this deter you from submitting if you are not a native english speaker we hope to evolve this in the future to be more accommodating do i need a license for my code you are not required to license your code but we strongly recommend that you do here are some you may consider mit apache bsd 2 bsd 3 or commons clause can i use ai use of ai is allowed as long as all other rules are followed we want to give you a chance to show off your skills in realistic scenarios if you use ai tools to help you achieve your submission all the power to you how do i embed my project directly into my dev post our editor supports many types of embeds including stackblitz glitch github etc you can typically use the embed https syntax directly in the post click here for more information on our markdown support for codepen you will need to use this syntax codepen http for codesandbox you will need to use this syntax codesandbox http judging and prizing can there be ties in the event of a tie in scoring between judges the judges will select the entry that received the highest number of positive reactions on their dev post to determine the winner how will i know if i won winners will be announced in a dev post on the winner announcement date noted in our key dates section when will winners receive their forem shop gift the dev team will contact you via the email associated with your dev profile within at most 10 business days of the
