How are projects evaluated? Projects are judged based on ecosystem impact, community engagement, and innovation. Key criteria include how well your project contributes to EDU Chain's ecosystem, brings in TVL or new users, and integrates with existing projects. We also evaluate technical implementation, scalability, and real-world feasibility. Teams demonstrating strong commitment, relevant experience, and early traction will have an advantage.
