## Number of Projects Awarded

1 Project

**Winner Breakdown**

The winning submission gets $2,000. If the judges find that no project is good enough to win, they'll be sure to explain why. The top 5 submissions are eligible for support from the Substrate Builder's program.

**What is required to complete this prize?**

* Code submission: Provide a link to your code repository with a README file outlining the tool or product you've built and how to use it
* Demo: Short 2-minute video demonstrating what you've built

**What does success look like? What are possible features that you are looking for?**

When it comes to tooling and developer experience in the Polkadot ecosystem, there are a number of available solutions to choose from, each of which cater to distinct groups of developers. A successful submission to this bounty has identified a tool that might be missing for Polkadot developers and creates or reimagines something completely new.

**What is the impact on your organization by a team working on this bounty?**

You'll be contributing to improving the developer experience in one of the largest growing in developer communities in web3.

**What are the UI/UX Design Requirements**

The application must have a functional user-interface - either a command-line program or a browser-based dApp. Browser-based dApps must be published to a publicly accessible demo URL, command-line apps must be packaged in a Docker container or as an standalone executable for Windows, Linux or MacOS

**What are examples of use cases you are looking to solve?**

Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing! If you're more on the blockchain development side of things..

- a tool to help with appchain deployment to mainnet
- a tool to turn an ink! dapp into an appchain
- a CLI tool to tinker with different appchain configurations (for e.g. consensus, runtime modules, xcm channels)

If you're more on the community side of things:
- a Github tipping bot to reward notable contributions in community repositories (bonus: also able to tip in NFTs)
- a Scaffold-ETH like experience for building on Polkadot

**How are you judging this bounty? What specific criteria do projects needs to be aware of?**

Your submission will be judged on the following:

- Usefulness and uniqueness: what particular need does your hack address? How does the tool you built benefit Polkadot end-users or developers?
- User experience: how easy is it to use your product?
- Implementation: how well does your implementation reflect your design goals?
