ETHDublin 2024

 IRL Web3 Hackathon

Inspired by the fusion of culture, technology, and community, we believe that the future of web3 is built on the foundation of shared values and inclusive participation. 

Before hopping into the tracks below, please take some time to review and consider the following guidance. Each project should strive to answer these questions for judges 👇 

   Who is behind your project?                                                                              

 What is unique about your team?                                                                     

  What is your solution?                                                                                         

  Has this been done before?                                                                               

  If yes, what are you doing differently?                                                           

  If not, why hasn't this been done already?                                                   

  For the benefit of the judges  

Clearly state your business objectives, delineate a strategy, suggest a model and articulate the roadmap. On that note, here are the judging criteria: 

1. (1-100) Technicality - How sophisticated is your solution?
2. (1-100) Originality - Is your project bringing anything new or innovative?
3. (1-100) Practicality - What level of completion have you reached and is there a project roadmap?
4. (1-100) Usability - Are you removing friction for the user? 
5. (1-100) WOW factor - For "an rud is annamh is iontach".

  Submission Guidelines

Hackers submit their project with a form including the project name, participants, description, details, bounties applying to, presentation (Google Slides) or video (YouTube unlisted), Github repository and live demo link. This will also serve to showcase projects in the ETHDublin website in reference to previous events.

 All presentations will be broadcast from the same device on the stage.

Each team has 7 minutes to present their project. We recommend 4 minutes for presenting and 3 minutes for judge questioning. The moderator will announce when 1 minute is left and when time is up.

  Objectives

Often your best use of time is weaving as many bounties into one track as possible to optimise for rewards.

The only limitations are the time we've allotted and your ingenuity.

  Our Vision

Ireland is a vibrant financial tech hub, juxtaposed with vulnerable and inefficient digital public services. 

We urgently need better solutions to transcend this paradox, innovating for the interest of the public. Although Web3 is no panacea, there are opportunities to bridge public and private sectors with more transparent infrastructure. 

Buidl things useful for all onchain. Engineer Ireland's tech culture with us.
