Competition Structure

The Minima Innovation Challenge is designed to support and encourage individuals and teams to create innovative solutions using the Minima Protocol.

The challenge will be split into two phases.

1. Ideation Phase

Over the course of three weeks, teams will have access to educational resources and office hours with the Minima and EdenBase teams to brainstorm and ask questions.

At the end of the three weeks, teams will not need to deliver any code yet, however, a brief presentation of the idea accompanied by a written description will need to be shared. This includes a discussion of market fit, why the idea is uniquely suited for the Minima Protocol, and what the competitive landscape looks like.

From the Ideation Phase, the top 10 projects will each receive $1,000 in Minima tokens and be invited to Phase 2.


2. Coding Phase

The Top 10 teams from the Ideation Phase will build their solutions using Minima, and provide at least a Proof of Concept (PoC) at the end of the sprint.

From the projects that submitted a PoC, the top 5 will be invited to feedback and mentorship sessions that will provide them with further technical and business support in developing the dApp use case and code.

We are looking for outstanding submissions. Teams that show more long-term thinking, including ideas around how to productize their idea, will have a higher chance of winning.
