🎯 The Goal

Build a Mini App with a Real World WLD or World ID use case.

Note: Mini apps are a developer preview still and should be off the record and not shared outside of this event.

📋 Guidelines

• To qualify for any Worldcoin prize your project must:
  • It is highly recommended that you build a mini app, we will value mini app integrations much higher
  • Integrate MiniKit SDK, optionally use IDKit
  • If you use World ID, it must be fully integrated. Proof validation is required and needs to occur in a web backend or smart contract

🤑 Prizes

$ 15,000 USD are up for grabs at the hackathon for devs who build on top of World ID, distributed as follows:

• $10000 to the Best Overall Projects🥇
  • $4000 to First Prize
  • $3000 to Second Prize
  • $2000 to Third Prize
  • $1000 to Honorable Mention
• $2500 to the Most Creative Use Case 🖼️
• $2500 Prize Pool - distributed equally among all qualifying submissions 🏊

Any prizes not awarded will be distributed to the prize pool.

We are strongly valuing apps that can be published as a complete mini app. Scope your projects accordingly.

🧑‍⚖️ Judging criteria

• Use case. Is there a meaningful problem being solved with WLD or World ID? Does the project have potential to solve a real problem in production?
• Commercializability. Will this project be something that could evolve into a startup afterwards?
• Correct Integration. Was the project fully integrated on both the frontend and backend? Does the integration work end-to-end?
• Creativity. Is the project posing a creative solution to a problem? Is World ID being used in a new way?
