Prizes & Bounties
Prizes, Bounty & Ideas to Build
All Updated information Can Be Found Here
We have $17,000 & counting for our prizes. Due to the fact that we have sponsors for certain bounties, we've grouped these bounties and general ideas into different tracks. This helps hackers focus on tackling bounties strategically and comprehensively, while also considering the broader concepts. These general ideas will also influence how we assess projects, which you can learn more about in the evaluation matrix.
The following are ideas to get you started today. While you're not obligated to pursue these particular concepts, a few are smaller suggestions that can be incorporated into more extensive projects. Certain ideas are being taken into account. Also, keep in mind that not all bounties have been revealed and won't be until a later date.
