This is an open-ended challenge with a focus on building Daaps, so run wild with your own ideas. If you need help getting started, here's a list of some things you might consider building:
-
Smart wallets
-
Tools (debuggers, block explorers, data analytics, DAO tools, developer interfaces and admins)
-
Ecosystem services (something like ENS, for instance)
-
Oracles
-
DAOs
-
Exchanges, AMMs, and other DeFi protocols
When planning your submission, remember that it's more important to have something with a smaller scope that is complete, functional, and secure, rather than a larger idea that is incomplete or of low quality. You can always take your submission idea and expand on it after the hackathon.
