Mantle announces the Most Nuts Team buildathon.

Mantle, a prominent player in the crypto space, has announced the launch of the “Most Nuts Team” Buildathon, running from October 9 to November 12, 2024. The hackathon invites both aspiring and experienced builders to create innovative applications, with the opportunity to win up to $150,000 in prizes. This buildathon, supported by sponsors like Eigenlayer, thirdweb, and Developer DAO, promises a host of rewards and hands-on guidance to help participants develop blockchain-based projects.

Key Highlights:

• Participants will receive dev tooling credits, tailored workshops, and 1:1 office hours with the Mantle team.
• The prize pool will be split across two categories: ConInfra (Consumer Infrastructure) and ConCon (Consumer Applications).
• Demo Day will be held at DevCon during the week of November 12-15, with a mini-acceleration phase from Week 7 to Week 9.

The buildathon features a carefully designed schedule to support developers, beginning with workshops and the distribution of dev tooling credits in the first week. In the third week, participants will have direct access to the Mantle team for 1:1 office hours, offering tailored guidance to fine-tune their projects. The event will culminate with a demo day at DevCon, followed by an acceleration phase supported by a group of expert mentors.

The prize pool is divided between two tracks: ConInfra, which focuses on building infrastructure to enhance consumer applications (such as identity, social graph, and AI/LLM integrations), and ConCon, aimed at creating consumer-facing applications (such as social apps, games, and health tools). The split ensures a broad scope for innovation, giving developers the freedom to tackle a variety of challenges.

Participants will also have access to coupons for thirdweb’s Growth Plan and Standard Engine, providing essential tools to supercharge their projects. These offers are valid until November 13 and can be redeemed by first-time buyers. To participate, developers need to apply via a Google Form and join the exclusive Telegram group for builders, where they’ll receive further instructions.

Judges and mentors for the event include notable names like Nader Dabit (Director of Developer Relations at Eigen Labs) and Jordi Alexander (Chief Alchemist at Mantle). Their role will be to guide participants, provide valuable feedback, and help push projects to their full potential, ensuring a competitive and educational experience for all involved.

With up to $150K in prizes, expert mentorship, and dedicated resources, the Most Nuts Team Buildathon is set to be a standout event in the blockchain development community. Mantle’s initiative not only incentivizes innovation but also provides a nurturing environment for creators to bring their projects to life.
