Difficulty
How technically complex is the problem that your project is tackling, and the solution that you have presented?
Implementation:
How complete and functional is your project? Is your project deployed? While your project does not need to be perfectly polished, the solution should at least be functional.
Applicability:
Is the project that your team is working on one that impacts people’s lives? Is this something that someone would have a use for in the real world?
Creativity:
Does the project address a new or unsolved problem? Does the project create a unique solution to a problem with an existing solution? Does your project solve a current problem we face in web2?
The only hard requirement for your hackathon project is that you use blockchain technology but other then that, let your imagination go wild!
Involving the Hyperverse, participants will create a dapp accompanied by a video walk-through.

NOTE
Approach: Our judges grade submissions across five equally-weighted categories: 1) Design, 2) Novelty/Originality, 3) Technical Accomplishment, 4) Potential Impact, 5) Creativity/Fun. Submissions will be rated with decimal numbers between 1 (worst) - 5 (best) per category (max score: 25) by each judge. The final score is the average of all voting judges. If a project scores low, we reserve the right not to award prizes, even if it was the only project submitted to a given track.
Categories:
Design: Is it easy to use? Does the visual design delight you? If targeting developers, is the experience smooth and intuitive?
Novelty/Originality: Does it have unique and novel features or combine features of other products or services in a unique and novel way?
Potential Impact: Does it fill a gap in the universe, and have the potential to be used frequently by a large, growing and diverse audience or market?
Creativity/Fun/Wow-Factor: Is it creative and put a smile on people’s faces?
