You can go out of your comfort zone and be creative as you want, or focus on solutions that you deem important to you and your needs right now. In either case, we would like to see you using any or all of our core features - Simulations and Forks (including our Simulation API), Web3 Actions, and Alerts - to create use cases that are valuable to you and other people in the space. Showing a novel application of individual features is great, but having them work in synergy is pure awesomeness. Push the envelope and create a unique solution to an engineering problem in the Web3 Space, showing the community (and us) an impressive way to improve the way we (can) build things. We expect to see a use-case/solution that shows how using Tenderly (drastically) improves the development process and/or the (user) experience of live service, in areas ranging from security, building better CI pipelines and tests all the way to active monitoring - whatever comes to mind! Basically, show us how you can fix an itch of your own, or a well-known unscratched itch you heard about.
Worldcoin
4,500 USD in prizes to the best project(s) that builds on World ID
