<aside> 🏆 **IPFS & Filecoin

Total Prize Pool: $12,000

Challenge Statement:** Filecoin & IPFS powers the world’s largest distributed storage network. Our challenge to hackers is good use of IPFS related technologies and/or Filecoin storage helpers for persistent storage.

Prizes & Name: Top 3: 3x $2,500 prizes for best use of IPFS & Filecoin technology Runner-ups: A selection of at least 6 projects to split a $3000 prize pool for good use of IPFS & Filecoin technology

Submission Guidelines: At a minimum submissions for prizes should include the following items,

1. Project Description - The name and summary of the project - Names/pseudonyms of team members and contact info (e.g., GitHub handle, email address, or other)

• How the project uses IPFS and/or Filecoin and/or decentralized storage services that build on top of either with example links to where in code those technologies are used.

2. Link to the publicly visible source code repository - Provide comprehensive README, incl. a clear description of the work and mention of how our tech is used in the Technologies Used section of README.

• Include a link to the working demo or provide a testing guide

3. Showcase - 2-3 minute video that presents the idea, including a brief demo that demonstrates the use of IPFS and/or Filecoin or anything that builds on top of them

• If applicable, select the appropriate track when submitting the project.

NOTE:

• Submitting the same project across multiple hackathons will lead to disqualification
• Only projects or features (preferably in separate branch) built specifically for the respective hackathon will be considered for prizes
• Broken links may disqualify the project from the judging process.
• Using an IPFS HTTP gateway doesn’t count as building on top of IPFS. Exclusively basing your submission on that does not make you eligible for prizes.

Judging Criteria: Our judges grade submissions across 5 equally weighted categories,

• ✨Design - 🤖Technical Accomplishment
• 🪄Filecoin & IPFS Implementation:
• 🚀Potential Impact
• 🤩Novelty/Creativity
