As some of you may already know, each week we release a programming challenge on ChainShot where users can compete for a spot on the weekly leaderboard, earning unique badges and pride!

With the community growing, we wanted to show some love and provide a chance to win a prize by earning a top spot in the weekly challenge!

A special thank you to the ECF Web 3.0 Infrastructure Fund for providing the funds to help run these events.

How do I participate?

Starting on Wednesday October 24th at 12PM EDT and continuing every Wednesday thereafter, earn prizes by completing the weekly challenge. The weekly challenge will be posted on the ChainShot Dashboard as well as on our Twitter account. For a chance to win, complete the challenge as fast as possible from the time of release.

Check our social media for updates prior to the weekly release time in case we expect any delays.

It should be noted that the weekly challenge planned for October 31st will instead be released on Tuesday October 30th at 12PM EDT. All other challenges will be released on Wednesdays.

How are winners chosen?

As mentioned above, winners are determined by the time in which they complete the challenge from the time it is released. The top 3, as well as 1 random person will be chosen as the winners!

Rewards will be given out to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. An additional reward will be given to a random participant.

Prize Distribution

How do I claim my prize if I win?

  1. Make sure you have a valid email associated to your ChainShot account as this is how we will contact the winners.
  2. Respond to the winner email with your GitHub account.
  3. Once all winner GitHub accounts are received a GitHub issue will be opened under the ChainShot Content Repository announcing the winners.
  4. Winners will be paid out shortly after the issue is announced via Gitcoin.

How long will challenges be rewarded?

Currently, we do not have a defined amount of challenges that will be rewarded in this way. Be sure to follow us on social media for any updates.
