ST Malaysia: Mini Hack Track

Renaissance is the latest edition of Solana’s online global hackathon. Winners may be invited to a Y-Combinator style accelerator program, with up to 250,000 USD worth of investments available.

Judging Criteria

The judging criteria will be similar to that of Renaissance. This will primarily be a business case challenge, which means that product market fit, founder market fit, distribution, uniqueness of the idea, and presentation design and style is important. Submitting code will greatly improve your chances of success. 

Submission requirements:

• pitch deck (Must have! Just need to add one slide at least on how to incorporate blockchain elements e.g. “pay with crypto”, “earn NFT badges” etc, happy assist on how to craft a blockchain-related use case)

• elevator pitch video of explanation of pitch deck (Must have! Just need to do a 3 min (maximum) screen recording of you pitching your deck! Easy peasy. But if you really can't do it for whatever reason, you can also use AI to generate it)

• link to socials for your projects (preferably twitter) 

• link to code base 

  
  

Note:

The most important submission is the pitch deck and video recording of your pitch, treat it as a business case challenge. Submitting code will greatly boost your chances of winning, but the business case is the priority.
