Core DAO Announce S-Prize Challenges for Ecosystem Development 

Core DAO has launched the Satoshi Prize (S-Prize) competition for developers building their protocols with quality use cases on the Core mainnet. The Satoshi Plus platform will reward builders up to $650,000 across two themes—GameFi and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). 

As BSC News reported in February, Core DAO introduced the S-Prize initiative to incentivize the development of valuable Decentralized Applications (dApp) and reward builders for the value added to the Core network. The S-Prize reward mechanism replaces grants by rewarding only valuable developers in the Core ecosystem after they complete challenges. 

Core DAO announced the S-Prize competition tailored to reward GameFi and DeFi developers on March 8. The protocol also shared extensive details about the competitions via Medium. 

For GameFi developers building on Core mainnet, the protocol will share a bounty prize worth $250,000 amongst selected winners. The challenge is to build the next Web3 game on Core blockchain with the aim of onboarding many users. 

On the DeFi front, $400,000 will be shared across four key DeFi categories: Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Lend/Borrow, Derivatives, and Others. The challenge is for developers to build the next big protocol on Core blockchain and drive Total Value Locked (TVL) to their products. 

The competition for both challenges will kickstart on March 10 at 12 PM UTC, and Core-based protocols do not need to apply to participate. All that is required is for both new and existing protocols to start building their innovative dApps right away. Core DAO will take snapshots 2, 4, and 6 months after the start date based on the following metrics: 

• Most TVL and weekly active addresses for DeFi protocols. 
• Most weekly active addresses for GameFi protocols.
