What languages or technologies must I use?

What does my entry need to be like? Does it need to be fully functioning?

Your entry should represent a working POC that demonstrates a tangible solution, using the Interledger Open Payments API.
While it doesn't need to be a polished, production-level application, the POC should actively showcase the practicality and potential of your solution.

Do I have to demo at the event?

Yes, your team must present your solution, including a demo, to the judges and other attendees on Sunday, November 9.

What are the judging criteria?

Judges will be looking at the quality of your idea, the potential impact of your solution, and how well you implemented it.
The best way to showcase what you did is to have a good presentation, so make sure you take the time to polish it. We will provide a template for your presentation if needed. We will also be available to help you with dry runs.

Will there be catering for the event?
