<h2>🛠 Hackathon Rules &amp; Submission Format</h2> ⚠️ IMPORTANT⚠️ All submissions must be submitted through TAIKAI before the deadline. Once projects are submitted, hackers must do a presentation for each track that they have applied for. Please visit the "Timeline" page for more details.  <h3>📜 ETHIstanbul Hacking Rules</h3><ul><li>ETHIstanbul takes place in real life in Istanbul, Rami Library (for details <a href="https://ethistanbul.io" target="_blank">https://ethistanbul.io</a>).</li><li>In order for your submission to qualify for the hackathon, you must:<ul><li>hold a valid hacker ticket for ETHIstanbul,</li><li>complete your registration at the hackathon front desk after the start of the hacking time until saturday afternoon,</li><li>submit your project over Taikai (not draft, but final submission),</li><li>attend all presentation sessions and present your project.</li></ul></li><li>The hackathon lasts 2.5 days, and all hacking must be done in the hackathon time. You can brainstorm your idea and create your team before the hackathon, but you cannot code or work on the product design (UI / UX) before or after the hack time. This is very important, as you should stop coding and sending commits once the hacking time is over.</li><li>Once you complete your registration, you do not need to be in the hackathon area during the hacking time, but we strongly advice you the otherwise. You also need to give your presentation in real life in the hackathon area (in a special case an online presentation can be arranged, please contact our team if something of such occurs).</li><li>Each team can have at least 1, at most 5 participants. All of the stated work in the submission must be done by these team members, and using the work of additional team members that are not listed on Taikai is a reason to be disqualified. </li><li>You cannot use, copy, or submit another team's code. However, it is possible to use your own code that is written before the hackathon or someone else's open source code (or with their permission). Nevertheless, you need to explicitly mention all codes and similar that are not produced during the hacking time. If you show and use a code as if you have written it in the hacking time while this is not true, you may be disqualified and banned from the hackathon. Also, remember that only codes that are written during the hackathon are used in judging and receive points. </li><li>Judges’ decisions are final regarding all prizes and awards, but all award winning submissions will be inspected in detail after the hackathon by our team for potential fraud. If such a case occurs, then the submission will loose its place and the final rankings will be updated accordingly.</li><li>AI usage in coding is not prohibited, but strongly discouraged, as fully AI written code will not receive points for coding related criteria (such as code quality or technical competence). Thus, we only recommend you using AI in the parts of your project that are not crucial for your submission (such as UI).</li><li>In addition to the rules above, each track and bounty may have additional rules for your project to be considered eligible. You can find more about them in the "Prizes" section.</li><li>Please follow instructions from ETHIstanbul organizers and volunteers and comply with our <a href="https://ethistanbul.io/conduct" target="_blank">Code of Conduct.</a></li></ul> <h3>✅ Minimum Submission Requirements (To Be Judged)</h3><ul><li>A link to your open-source code repository.</li><li>A short demo video (max 90s) or a presentation (max 7 slides) clearly describing your project, its use case, and purpose.</li><li>If applicable, include the contract address(es) or website URLs of your deployed demo (testnet or mainnet accepted).</li></ul> <h3>💸 Bounties</h3><ul><li>The hackathon has 2 main track bounties. Additionally, there exist bounties that are provided by our sponsors. </li><li>A full list of active bounties is shared in the "Prizes" section.</li><li>Additional judging criteria and requirements for bounties can also be found under "Prizes". </li><li>All projects can apply for as many bounties as they wish with the same submission. In order to qualify for a bounty, you must chose the respective subcategory in your submission.</li><li>Each bounty may have additional presentation requirements, also stated under "Prizes". </li></ul> <h3>📝 Submission Guideline</h3>You must submit your project on TAIKAI by Sunday, September 7th at 12:00 (GMT+3).🔔 At least one team member must be present in person at the venue to be eligible to pitch their project.📌 Steps to Submit on TAIKAI:<ol><li>Click “Create Project” on the ETHIstanbul hackathon page.</li><li>Add your team members.</li><li>Select the track(s) and bounties you are applying to by editing the project categories.</li><li>Follow the submission template below.</li><li>Click “Publish” once everything is complete.</li></ol> <h3>📤 Submission Template</h3>This is an example template, and feel free to improvise if you think it will help with your submission.
