Description
Create, Iterate, and Innovate!
Every month, Linea will host a mini, online buildathon to celebrate and reward continuous hacking! For October and November Dev Cook-off, we will have a 10,000 USD pool prize distributed to qualified projects.
You can create a new project, iterate on an ongoing one, or revive and refresh that old side project you've been wanting to get back to.
That means you don't need to start from scratch! The only requirement is that you're building with Linea, made progress on your project in the current month, and you've posted about your project on social (and included a frog somewhere)!
This is a great opportunity to win some small prizes alongside your regular building, improve on past hackathon projects, and get exposure to the Linea team and community!
Literally, win cool prizes for just shipping.
