Goals

This will be just the first round of the dev competition. Please, do not try to optimize, no one expects an ideally working product. However, people are striving for something they've never seen before. If you are able to get 1000 people to use a MS XP or SEGA style UI (hello, good old Curve), this is 1000 better than building a faster or cheaper version of the same product, even more so in crypto.


GET YOUR MVP OUT THERE! - we'll get you early adopters. Iterate fast. If it is good enough then we can get you into the incubation program to pitch in front of our 200+ vc network.


How to win?


For both categories there is only one KPI - the number of unique humans who tried your application. Easy peasy. Very fair.


Where should I apply?


Through community suggestion here on Dework.

Once you’re on mainnet - your dapp will move to the “deployed on mainnet” section where you can see the current ranking of the dapps in terms of unique human users.


Where should I deploy?


Humanode EVM Mainnet.


How do I know there is a unique human behind a web3 account?


Onchain biomapping smart contract.


When?


From 15.08.2023 to 15.10.2023


Prize?

150,000 HMND will be allocated to projects deploying, forking and building must-haves on the Humanode EVM:


  • Winner - 100,000 HMND

  • 2nd - 50,000 HMND

  • 3rd - 25,000 HMND

  • 4th-8th - 5,000 HMND


Snapshots?


30.08.2023 - 15.09.2023 will be a preparation period;


1/3 of the prize pool awarded after 4 weeks (30.09), 15.09 - 30.09 is the first snapshot period;

1/3 of the prize pool awarded after 6 weeks (15.10), 1.10 - 15.10 is the second snapshot period;

1/3 of the prize pool awarded after 8 weeks (30.10), 16.10 - 30.10 is the third snapshot period;

We will take the average number of humans interacting with a Dapp on a daily basis (DAU) Humanode mainnet to calculate the winners of every period.


Any other rules?


It can be your old or new project, does not matter, but it has to be deployed on the Humanode mainnet.


Projects must cross the floor of 100 verified humans to be eligible for the prize.

Projects must have a UI and a website, even if it looks like it's from the Stone age.

Projects can choose to compete only in one track.

Any support?

  1. Thirdweb support will help you with template contract deployment. Link

  2. If you are serious about your app, and ready for a go-to-market phase, we can get you in touch with Thirdweb acceleration team, and create a personal chat with experienced Solidity devs.

  3. During the program the devs will be able to put their Dapps to Humanode web3 engagement spaces, like Zealy, Galxe and release it across Humanode socials. This will give you a few hundred first users immediately.

  4. After the 2 months the winners can apply for the Humanode Incubation program that will help with all the other aspects of the project. Our team is close to the top tier accelerators like Republic and Outlier Ventures, and a dozen launchpads.
