Optimism Prize List

So you want to build on Optimism ey? Well we are so glad to have you! We have two main prizes: Pool prizes (for generally cool products) and specific prizes (for specifically cool dapps)!

We also have a host of ways to support your dapp after the hackathon - we are here for the long term!

Pool Prize

   From NFT card games to open world explorations, we want it all!

3. Community Infrastructure: 2 teams win $ 2,500 each

   From DAO tooling, new token standards to decentralising RPC provision, we are looking for the next hot application.

After the Hackathon...

Now what? Don’t throw all that hard work away! We want to encourage and support builders to do what they do best - build cool shit! If you have won any of the Optimism Prizes you can apply for a grant!

How will Optimism support your project after the hackathon?

1. Demo Days! We run a Demo Day every two weeks on our Discord server. At these demo days you can show off your application to our community. Get feedback and users! Double win!
2. Grants! If your dapp won a prize you can apply for a grant - we want to help you build your best dapp ♥️
3. Community Calls! Once your project is live on Optimism (and ideally has some users) we might be able to organise a call! This could be a Twitter space, Discord call, or in your community!
4. Governance Grants! Ready to take the next big step? You can apply for a large(r) grant from the Token House Governance! Governance is independent of Optimism so there is no guarantee you will get funding, but if your dapp is good you probably will!
