About the Bounty

Colosseum recently concluded the Solana Breakout Hackathon with India showing out with a record-breaking 231 submissions. While the results of the Hackathon have not been announced yet, the directory of all submissions is public, and this bounty is for you to dive deep into your favourite projects from India.

Your mission is to create a list of your favourite submissions and write a comprehensive review/notes for all of them.

The ideal submission will:

1. Present an overview of the entire Solana Breakout Hackathon by Colosseum

2. Highlight and share some statistics about the hackathon and submissions

3. List all the top projects from India and provide information about each of them

4. Provide an introduction, relevant links, founder information, and a relevant thesis for each project

5. Sound opinionated and interesting vs just being an information dump

Evaluation Criteria

Our judges will use the following criteria while judging your submissions:

• Did you write a compelling introduction and a satisfying conclusion?

• Is your writing easy and fun to read?

• Did you avoid overly complex jargon?

• Did you explain projects/concepts in a way a person new to crypto could understand?

Submission Requirements

• Your submission should be structured as a blog, essay, or report on a public platform like Substack, Medium, or the X article composer. Twitter thread formats are not acceptable for this bounty.

• Your essay should be written in English.

• Your submission should be at least 1,000 words and cover at least 10+ projects. Note that typical bounty winners are ~2,000 words.

• You should include links to your sources under the title “References”. If you have used external sources and no references are included, your bounty could be rejected on the grounds of plagiarism.

AI Assistants

You are welcome and encouraged to use AI assistants for research, feedback, and improving the quality of your submission. Participants should focus on adding their own narrative, insights, and opinions to the submission. We’d strongly advise against just submitting the AI output served against this bounty as a prompt because we already generated that and linked it below for your reference :)
