Chainlink Judging video

hi I'm Richard one of the developer Advocates here at chain link labs and let's talk a little bit about judging the Bounty program for this hackathon now when it comes to the judges from chain link Labs we'll be looking for a couple of different things first of all there's two different tracks that we'll be looking at the first of which is chain link functions related so if you have a project that uses chain link functions that would be eligible for that track the second is any of our other products if you use any of our other chain link products that's the second track you can be eligible for that when I mentioned uses a chain link product what does that really mean we're looking for you to use chain link to make a state change on chain you need to change something within the blockchain using one of our products for judging purposes we're looking at a few different areas the first is that wow factor if you've done something that's awesome that moves the web 3 space forward that brings more people into the web 3 space that's one of the key things that we're looking for so second we're looking at the look and feel of the project the UI the ux the DX depending on what kind of project it is we love to see projects that are polished and have that little bit of extra shine on them another area that we look at is the value of the project to the decentralized landscape in general what does it provide to this space versus what's already there if it's something new and novel it provides a much needed area of support that's going to be amazing when it comes to the judges you will need to present live to the judges if you're not there to talk to our judges I'm sorry but we're going to be skipping your project so you will need to have that conversation with the judges who are the judges we've got a couple different teams of Judges they'll consist of a developer Advocate from chain link someone from another area who's a non-developer and finally an engineer from chain link Labs so those three different members will make up our judging team we've talked a lot about judging but what happens if you win what can you win again I mentioned there are two different tracks for for each of these tracks there are 10 total prizes that's five per track each prize is going to be two thousand dollars now you won't be eligible to win in both tracks but you could submit your project to both if you used more than one service say you used Automation and functions in your project you could be eligible for both tracks just you can't win both we want to be able to spread the prizes out as much as possible so that's it that's how we're judging that's what we're looking for we can't wait to see what kind of projects you build and what awesome things you bring to the web 3 space good luck
