Everstake, as a Neo council member, is proud to be among the partners for the exciting Neo X Grind Hackathon, which is currently in full swing.
Powered by the Neo and four other co-hosts, IOSG Kickstarter, Web3Labs, Foresight Ventures and Bitget, the Neo X Grind Hackathon is a major event for EVM developers, blockchain enthusiasts, and innovators seeking to shape the next wave of blockchain applications on Neo and beyond.
Having kicked off on October 30, the hackathon is now in the middle of the submission period, which will end on December 30. After the judge review and community voting, the final results will be announced on January 11, 2025.
The judging criteria demand that any project must deploy smart contracts on Neo X Mainnet. Neo X is Neo’s EVM-compatible sidechain, bridging the Neo N3 ecosystem with Ethereum, enabling seamless interoperability and expanding blockchain capabilities. Participants need to have the smart contracts verified on explorer, and be open-source. Other requirements include community voting, interactions with smart contracts, a clear roadmap for future development, and a business model describing sustainable revenue generation.
The participants will vie for a $70,000 main prize pool and exclusive opportunities that go beyond strictly monetary rewards.
- Fast track to the Bitget Listing Program, offering promising projects a pathway to greater visibility.
- Access to the $20,000,000 Elevate Program by the Neo Foundation, which can provide substantial resources and other forms of support for a nascent project.
- Access to the $1,000,000 IOSG Kickstarter Program, including participation in the program’s prestigious Demo Day Pitch Session.
- Access to the $1,000,000 Web3.0 Global Acceleration Program, offered by Web3 Labs and Neo.
- Potential investment opportunities from Foresight Ventures, giving high-potential projects the chance to secure future funding.
Participants can submit their projects across categories like DeFi, NFT, GameFi, SocialFi, and general blockchain innovation or submit a project in a different category of their own choosing, provided it meets the main criteria of the hackathon.
