Requirements

What to Build

• Web3 Infrastructure Solutions: Your project must align with the "Web3 Innovation" theme by integrating core Web3 elements (e.g., decentralized authentication, advanced cryptography, immutable databases, or smart contracts) to solve rigorously validated real-world problems. Creating crypto tokens or DeFi instruments is NOT required.

• Industry Sectors & Real-World Use Cases: You have absolute freedom to choose your industry sector, such as Healthcare, Education, Agriculture, Green Energy, or Smart City infrastructure. You can utilize blockchain architecture to solve practical issues like healthcare records, supply chain logistics, public services, tamper-proof voting systems, decentralized digital identity, or intellectual property tracking. You must back your problem statement with real data, statistics, and actual field facts rather than mere assumptions.

• Platform Flexibility: You have complete freedom to determine your product's delivery platform, including Web-based applications, Mobile apps (iOS/Android), or Internet of Things (IoT) hardware ecosystems.

• Hybrid Tech Stack Integration: We highly encourage blending traditional Web2 architecture with Web3 elements, as well as integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) for features like data analysis, prediction, or automation.

• The Strict "Functional MVP" Rule: You must build an original, fully functional MVP strictly during the 24-hour Phase 2 coding marathon. Presenting a prototype that relies on hardcoded data, pure UI mockups without a genuinely running backend, or using pre-existing projects created before the hackathon is strictly prohibited and considered a severe violation of technical integrity.

What to Submit

• Phase 1 (Online Preliminaries - Required for All):

  • Idea Proposal (PDF): You must submit a 100% conceptual Idea Proposal in PDF format (maximum size 10 MB) to the "Additional info" section on Devpost.

  • Mandatory Template: You MUST download and use the official Proposal Template (.docx) from the "To-dos" section. Your PDF must strictly follow this anatomy: Executive Summary, Data-Driven Problem Statement, Proposed Solution & Value Proposition, MVP & Key Features, Target Market & Impact Viability, and Tech Stack & System Architecture.

  • Strict File Naming Convention: You must name your file based on your team category: [TEAM NAME]-[PROJECT NAME]-NATIONAL.pdf, [TEAM NAME]-[PROJECT NAME]-INTL.pdf, or [TEAM NAME]-[PROJECT NAME]-MIX.pdf.

  • Twibbon Requirement: The link to your uploaded Instagram Twibbon post must be submitted alongside your Phase 1 Devpost idea proposal.

• Phase 2 (Offline Execution - Required for Top 30 Finalists):

  • Public Repository Link (GitHub/GitLab): A link to your public code repository must be submitted as evidence of your hacking commit history strictly over the 24-hour period.

  • Presentation Slide Deck: A presentation deck in PDF or PPT format (maximum file size 10 MB) to be used during your 10-minute Live Pitching session.

  • Live Deployment URL (Optional but Recommended): A link to a deployed, hosted version of your MVP (Cloud, Testnet, Web3 Public network). Deploying to a public network yields major consideration points over demonstrating purely via Localhost.
