Challenge Categories
All submissions must be projects built on Binance Smart Chain. In addition, these projects must be completely open source and non-custodial where assets are concerned. You can build anything, but we are particularly interested in innovative projects in the following areas:

DeFi and asset management

Private transactions and "dark contracts"

More categories TBA

We encourage you to build anything so long as it showcases your originality and unique strengths.

DeFi and Asset management ideas
We are looking for developers to build and port finance protocols utilizing Binance Bridge. Bridge liquidity from Ethereum and demonstrate applications that take advantage of BSC's fast finality and low fees.

DEX ecosystem: build out other features for DEXes including integrating with centralized and decentralized exchanges to bring liquidity, on-chain oracles, and arbitrage bots to mitigate price discrepancies. Also build stop loss protocols to protect liquidity providers against impermanent losses.

On-chain decentralized order book: implement a matching engine as a smart contract on BSC that also allows users to create limit orders for trading pairs.

Money market lending protocol native on BSC: build both lending protocols and aggregators with a single interface consolidating lending protocols, including cross-chain protocols, for the best rates. This also could include aggregators for yield farming.

Tokenized synthetic assets: build an issuance protocol to mint, support tokenized synthetic assets using Chainlink and Band oracles and list the assets on BSC DEXes.

Build other DeFi showcases including collective savings, decentralized mutual funds, insurance for deposits and smart contract risks, prediction markets (Augur, Omen), decentralized stablecoins, and more.

Build NFT and gaming showcases: build applications that allow users to create, share, sell and buy digital collectibles.

Defi APY dashboard: make a live dashboard that aggregates and filters all of the APYs for all yield farming on BSC.

Private transactions and "dark contracts" ideas
Implement ZK rollups on BSC for arbitrary smart contracts

Build a library or SDK that lets a contract become "dark" (enabling private transactions)

Build a protocol that lets a contract become selectively dark between chains

Build a dark, collateralized, stablecoin, a la Monero meets Dai.

Submission Requirements
All submissions must be open source and deployed live on the BSC test net or main net (Main net if seeking gas credit)

All submissions must list the addresses of their contracts on BSC

The application must be USEFUL and INTERESTING

If there is wide appeal for the application, it will score better

A demo video must be submitted for a complete submission

Judging Criteria
A panel of judges from Binance X and its partners will evaluate your submission. Here's the criteria by which your work will be judged:

Is the application useful? Is it interesting?

Design and usability

There must be sufficient documentation to use the submission, compile the source, and deploy it (if a relayer, for example)

The relative ease of use, as afforded by the UI and UX implemented for the submission.
