Sick of 404s? Help revolutionize the web by building decentralized appsWe are increasingly losing control of our personal information by placing ownership of data in the hands of just a few. History has shown us time and time again how problematic centralization is, and today, monolithic power structures have dominated the infrastructure of the web, turning open networks into a place where information and freedom of speech are vulnerable to censorship and loss. In response to the increasing centralization of the web, Arweave is on a mission to build a new web -- the permaweb.
The permaweb is a decentralized, immutable new web, built on top of a globally distributed, permanent hard drive -- the Arweave network. We want the decentralized permaweb to be accessible to everyone, but we want you to be a part of making that a reality. That’s why we’re looking for talented developers to build decentralized apps on the permaweb.
How to participate in the Arweave build the permaweb hackathonSubmission period (7 weeks): September 22 - November 11
Winner announcement: November 22
View official hackathon page here:
Submission requirements- The permaweb app must interact with Arweave using ArweaveJS and must be published on the permaweb using Arweave Deploy.
- Your permaweb app must be fully decentralized without the use of centralized plugins. There should be no need to use a centralized login approach while you have a fully decentralized approach directly with Arweave.
- Your submission must include an arweave.net link to a live, functioning, and running instance of the app itself, as well as a link to the repository it is stored within.
- Please ensure you join the Discord channel to ask questions if you are unsure.
Rules- Submissions must be your own original work
- No duplicate accounts allowed. If we suspect of you doing this all of your accounts will be disqualified.
- Apps must be open source, with the full source code available on Github. Feel free to use whatever OSS license you prefer.
- Applications should be sufficiently complex, as evaluated by the core judges. For example, a simple ‘hello world’ app is not complex enough to receive a reward.
- Broken/non-functional submissions will also be rejected. You should aim for a product that an end-user could reasonably start to use.
- Your submission must include an arweave.net link to a live, functioning, and running instance of the app itself, as well as a link to the repository it is stored within.
- All applicants must join our Discord Dev server and share your submission in the #devpost-hackathon channel upon completion
- All submissions must include a screenshot, a brief description and usage instructions of the application and functionalities in the GitHub repo.
Reward details- All prizes will be paid in ETH
- The value of ETH to USD will be pegged at the time of transfer, which follows the successful submission and provision of recipients’ ETH addresses.
- Only submissions that are judged by the core judges and meet the submission criteria will receive a prize.
