Best use of Chainlink in a sustainability project #14
Description
Prize Bounty
5 x 1,000 USD paid in LINK for the best usage of Chainlink protocol in your project.
Challenge Description
Use Chainlink protocol to build more sustainable solutions. To be eligible for prizes each project must use Chainlink in some form to make a state change on a blockchain. This means that a front end simply reading from Chainlink data feeds doesn't count. Using one of Chainlink Data Feeds, Chainlink VRF, Chainlink Keepers, or Chainlink API Calls inside your smart contracts is required.
Submission Requirements
At a minimum submissions for prizes should include the following items:
- Project Description
- The name and summary of the project.
- Names/pseudonyms of team members and contact info (e.g., GitHub handle, email address, or other).
- How the project uses Chainlink.
- Link to the publicly visible source code repository
- Provide comprehensive README, incl. a clear description of the work and mention of how Chainlink is used.
- Include a link to the working demo or provide a testing guide.
- Showcase
- Up to a 5-minute long video that presents the idea, including a brief demo.
Judging Criteria
- 💙 Sustainability & Chainlinkiness - How sustainable this project is? Any other wow-factor points?
- 🚀 Originality - How different this project from other solutions is?
- 🏗 Technicality - How technically challenging this project is?
- 👨💻 Practicality - Will people actually use this project?
- ✨ UI/UX/DX - How easy this project is to use? How "nice on the eyes" it is?
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services needed to power hybrid smart contracts on any blockchain. Chainlink oracle networks provide smart contracts with a way to reliably connect to any external API and leverage secure off-chain computations for enabling feature-rich applications.
Chainlink Price Feeds provide a large collection of streaming market data. Developers can currently integrate easy-to-deploy code to retrieve Price Feeds for crypto assets, commodities, FOREX, and more market data, opening up a huge number of potential applications.
If you’re looking to call a specific API or type of data, build a straightforward External Adapter to call the API to your Solidity smart contract. Creating a new External Adapter is a fantastic hackathon project for those new to Chainlink, and can add a unique identity to projects from veteran smart contract developers.
A popular solution for gaming, ticketing, and many other use cases, Chainlink VRF provides developers access to provably random numbers, enabling them to build any type of app that needs transparent and secure RNG (random number generation) on-chain.
Creativity is your only limiting factor—Chainlink empowers your smart contracts with any data source you can think of in a secure manner, allowing you to build end-to-end decentralized, secure, and reliable applications.
