🏆 Build Starknet.anything ⸺ $2,500
Nethermind invites you to build on Starknet. Build what? Absolutely anything! Yes, that's right. Absolutely anything! The most useful and creative project wins! Think about a Smart Contract that does something unique, something that doesn't exist on Starknet yet, or an integration of some kind, perhaps a tool that helps others access Starknet data.

Qualification Requirements

- To be considered your project source code must be hosted on a code repository like Github. - The code must be your own work. - You must demonstrate that your project is executable on the Starknet Testnet. - The quality and originality of the cryptography underlying the project. That is, we will value projects that propose cryptographic protocols that are effective and creative in tackling the project’s goals. - The quality of the implementation. - Amount of work done during the event.

🏆 Build MEV infrastructure product ⸺ $2,500
Nethermind invites you to build MEV infrastructure to help align MEV in Starknet!MEV, or Maximal Extractable Value, is a concept in blockchain that refers to the maximum value that a miner, validator, or block producer can extract from manipulating the order, inclusion, or exclusion of transactions within a block. MEV is neutral, and when properly built and accounted for the positive forms of it support healthy markets and good pricing for retail users, which is critical for adoption. Some positive forms of this are solver infrastructure like Cowswap or UniswapX, or mempool infrastructure like flashbots.Due to Starknet’s current architecture MEV strategies that relies on gas manipulation or transaction ordering are less effective, but there are other ways to support healthy markets!As Starknet decentralizes, this will be more and more important to take into account for dAPPS.Your task is to find one of this ways and implement an application that leverage Starknet’s unique characteristics.This can include: Starknet MEV Mempool dAPP infrastructure that allows dAPPS to integrate MEV Similar to Privy as wallet infrastructure Intent Markets Support solvers providing best pricing for retail users New and novel ideas! This field is being heavily researched, and new ideas are welcome!

Qualification Requirements

- To be considered your project source code must be hosted on a code repository like Github. - The code must be your own work. - You must demonstrate that your project is executable on the Starknet Testnet. - The quality and efficiency of aligning MEV to dAPPS or Starknet. - The quality of the implementation. - Amount of work done during the event.
