Hackathon Requirements

Competition Rules
  1. All code projects should use the MIT license.
  2. Teams can only use golang to write smart contract. Other parts can be implemented by any kind of programing language.
  3. There is no maximum or minimum team size.
  4. Organizers, judges, or sponsors are not allowed to participate or join a team.
  5. All members of the team should be present during the day of the event, Oct 27th, as we believe it’s integral to community development and working cooperatively. Leaving the venue for a duration to hack elsewhere is also allowed.
  6. Teams can of course gain advice and support from organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and others. Judges can help teams with basic questions, but we strongly recommend team should think and solve problems independently.
  7. Teams can use an idea they had before the event or adding new features to existing projects. However, we highly encourage innovation.
  8. The competing teams are required to complete all the development work within the specified time.
  9. We are holding this challenge at a very high regard, thus if there are no teams which have shown exemplary work, then the grand prize may be ommitted and left vacant.
  10. Teams can be disqualified from the competition at the organizers’ discretion. Reasons might include, but are not limited to, breaking the Competition Rules or other unsportsmanlike behaviour.
  11. This is a competition for the community, so please follow the rules and respect competing teams.
