<h2>❓ FAQ – Read This Before You Ask in Discord</h2>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<h3> 🚀 Getting Started </h3>What is the Swell City Buildathon? A fast-paced, high-stakes event for DeFi builders, AI devs, and automation wizards to create next-gen restaking dApps, trading strategies, and AVS-powered protocols. Who can participate? Anyone interested in DeFi, smart contracts, AI, and automation—whether you’re a Solidity dev, full-stack engineer, data scientist, or just someone with a bold idea. Is there a fee? Nope. It’s free to enter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<h3> 👥 Teams &amp; Collaboration </h3>Do I need a team? No, you can build solo or form a team (typically 2-6 members). If you need teammates, check #team-matching on Discord. Can I submit multiple projects? No, you can only submit one project per team. Can I use AI tools like Copilot or ChatGPT to help me? Yes. AI is fair game, but your submission must be original work, not just AI-generated code without added logic or purpose. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <h3>🛠️ Tech, Stack &amp; Development </h3>What should I build? Think big. We’re looking for: 🔥 Restaking Infra – AVS mechanisms, modular restaking optimizations 🤖 AI &amp; Automation – Bots, AI-driven trading, on-chain execution engines 📊 DeFi &amp; Trading – New yield strategies, AVS-powered trading tools 🛠 Ecosystem &amp; Tooling – Analytics, governance, DAOs, gaming, dashboards 🎭 Wildcard – Something no one saw coming ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <h3>🔥 The Actual Hackathon (a.k.a. The Grind) </h3>Can I use pre-existing code? Yes, as long as your core innovation happens during the hackathon. Using open-source tools, libraries, or your own boilerplate is fine. I have an idea but don’t know how to execute it. What should I do? 1️⃣ Drop your idea in Discord → Get feedback 2️⃣ Look for a teammate → Someone might have the skills you need 3️⃣ Ask mentors → They can guide you in the right direction Where do I ask for help if something breaks? <ul><li>Discord channels on questions regarding TAIKAI or the hackathon</li><li>Mentors for anything Swellchain-specific</li></ul> Will there be coding workshops? Yes! Check the #announcements tab for AMAs and tech deep dives. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <h3>🏆 Submission, Judging &amp; Prizes</h3> What do I need to submit?<ul><li>Project Name &amp; Elevator Pitch (280 chars max)</li><li>GitHub Repo (with a README for setup)</li><li>Live Product Link (or demo credentials if private)</li><li>Project Deck (brief, no fluff)</li><li>3-Minute Demo Video (show it working)</li><li>Team Details (who did what)</li><li>Optional: X (Twitter) account, freeform notes</li></ul> How are projects judged? ✔ Innovation – Are you pushing DeFi/restaking forward? ✔ Execution – Does it actually work? ✔ Technical Depth – How well is it built? ✔ Impact – Would people use this? What do winners get? 🏆 Cash prizes for winning projects 💰 Potential follow-on funding via Swell’s grants program 🚀 Exposure &amp; integration opportunities with EigenLayer, OP Labs &amp; major protocols ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <h3>❌ How to Get Disqualified (Don’t Do This)</h3>🚫 Submitting an old project with no meaningful updates 🚫 Plagiarizing or copy-pasting someone else’s work 🚫 Submitting an incomplete or broken project 🚫 Making something that doesn’t relate to restaking, AI, or DeFi ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <h3>📅 Last Steps: Make Sure You’re Ready</h3>✅ Join Discord &amp; follow announcements ✅ Check the <a href="https://taikai.network/en/swellchain/hackathons/Restaking-Buildathon/timeline" target="_blank">timeline tab</a> for key dates ✅ Make sure your project meets submission guidelines ✅ Ship it.
