Scheduled to commence in August 2024, Season One of the competition will witness a distinguished panel of judges consisting of representatives from Supra, Google Cloud, Republic Crypto, Hashkey Capital, and the acclaimed crypto-centric reality TV series, Killer Whales.

Calling All Blockchain Developers

Supra is inviting talented blockchain developers to participate in building and deploying what they term as 'Super dApps' on their robust Layer-1 network. Contestants have the chance to vie for investments from Supra's recently established $100 million Ecosystem Fund.

This competition offers developers a unique opportunity to showcase their projects to a highly engaged audience of over 500k verified unique token holders on the 'Project Blast Off' community platform, along with 1.3 million email subscribers. The winning team's Super dApp will be featured weekly on the Blast Off platform, providing users with interactive missions and quests to explore the projects and win rewards such as prizes, airdrops, NFTs, and more.

Panel of Judges

The panel of judges for Season One will evaluate projects in DeFi, GameFi, Web3 Social, and other categories. It includes key figures from Supra's leadership team and prominent individuals from the 'Killer Whales' reality TV show produced by HELLO Labs, offering a platform akin to Shark Tank but focused on Web3 startups.

Apart from internal judges, experts from strategic partners like Google Cloud, Republic Crypto, HashKey Capital, and more will also contribute to the evaluation process. The community engagement will be crucial, as Supra's community members will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite Super dApps.
