Hacking Rules

• 🚨 You can plan ahead of time, but all code for your project has to be written during the hackathon. Code can only be committed after official start and until the submission deadline. Otherwise, you will be disqualified (no exception, everything will be checked).
• The decision of judges is final for determining prizes.
• A team can have between 1 and 4 members
• You can not use another team's code.
• Breaking our Rules and Code of Conduct leads to the exclusion from the event.

Minimum Submission Requirements

• A demo is required. Show us what you built in a short video! Here’s a short guide on how to give a killer pitch.
• Provide a link to the open-source code. Startups can apply with a new feature but, code must be open-source. We recommend including a Readme with information about the project.
• When submitting, don’t forget to select on DoraHacks the Tracks or Bounties you’re applying for. Make sure to explain in your application which bounties you’re applying to and the contracts you’re submitting.
