PRIZING STRUCTURE

There will be 6 tracks for you to participate in - Web3, DeFi, GameFi, NFT, Builder, and Eco-Friendly. If your project covers multiple tracks, simply chose the most relevant track that describes your project.

All Hackathon prizes will be paid out in USDD. With the new introduction of USDD, which is a decentralized stablecoin that depends on an on-chain mechanism & currently fully collateralized assets, we are excited to see how projects can utilize and build around it. USDD circulates on TRON, BSC, Ethereum, and other networks via the cross-chain protocol BitTorrent Chain (BTTC). The new PSM (Peg Stability Module) 3 is one of the tools to help keep USDD stable and allows users to swap between USDD and other stablecoins ( USDT, USDC, TUSD) at a 1:1 rate. You can find it here.

Web3, DeFi, GameFi, NFT, Builder, and Eco-Friendly will have the prizing structure as below:

1st Prize 20k USDD

2nd Prize 15k USDD

3rd Prize 10k USDD

4th Prize 8k USDD

5th Prize 6k USDD

Participating in the TRON DAO Forum will also enable you to win one of the forum track prizes. Each of the 5 tracks will have the same prizing structure as below:

1st Place 6k USDD

2nd Place 5k USDD
