About

Polygon Labs is a software development company building and developing a network of aggregated blockchains via the AggLayer, secured by Ethereum.

As public infrastructure, the AggLayer will bring together user bases and liquidity for any connected chain, and leverage Ethereum as a settlement layer.

Polygon Labs has also contributed to the core development of several widely-adopted scaling protocols and tools for launching blockchains, including Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Polygon Miden, which is in development as well as Polygon CDK.

Prizes

📱 Best Consumer App on Polygon ⸺ $7,000
🥇
1st place
$2,000
🥈
Runner-up
$1,000 ×5

We’re taking onchain apps to global scale, let’s make user onboarding easy and fun. Polygon helps scale Ethereum to the billions of users by cutting edge tech. We invite you to create consumer applications focusing on real world use cases, using Polygon technology.

Note: Prize allocations may be adjusted based on the number of entries and their adherence to the criteria.

Qualification Requirements

  • Deployment: Your MVP must be fully deployed on any of Polygon’s networks, featuring a functional UI for seamless interaction with your smart contract(s)
  • Documentation: Provide detailed documentation, including setup instructions, technologies used and architecture/conceptual diagrams
  • Consumer approach: Proposed business model and roadmap as part of your deliverables (include in your demo video, and upload references as images)
  • Innovation and Utility: Entries should introduce novel features or mechanisms that foster user onboarding by solving a problem
🤖 Best AI + Onchain App on Polygon ⸺ $4,000
🥇
1st place
$2,000
🥈
2nd place
$1,000 ×2

With the growing trend and interest in decentralized AI, we’re looking for innovative AI integration with smart contracts. This bounty aims to inspire innovative AI solutions that leverage blockchain technology for decentralized applications.

💡Project Ideas

  • AI Wearables: Integrate blockchain capabilities to AI wearable hardware to increase user use and adoption of onchain technologies
  • On-chain Inference Validation: Is it possible to do cross validation on-chain to check if inferencing results are trustable?
  • Data Sourcing Incentive Model: Data is what feeds AI models and make them intelligent, can we create a system that incentivizes Data usage in AI model Training and even inferencing?
  • AI powered Blockchain applications: Using AI to digest chain logging data, create agents that can help you do on-chain operations such as swaps, purchases, etc.
  • AI protection on Blockchain Security: Using AI to predict security fraud events and trigger counter actions to prevent undesired events.

Note: Prize allocations may be adjusted based on the number of entries and their adherence to the criteria.

Qualification Requirements

  • AI Integration: Develop a decentralized application that incorporates AI to solve a specific problem or enhance functionality
  • Use of Blockchain: Demonstrate how blockchain technology enhances or secures the AI solution
  • Documentation: Provide detailed documentation, including setup instructions, architecture/conceptual diagrams, and an explanation of the AI model used
🌉 Build anything CrossChain using AggLayer Unified Bridge ⸺ $3,000
🥇
1st place
$2,000
🥈
2nd place
$1,000

At the heart of Polygon’s new architecture lies the Unified Bridge. The Unified Bridge facilitates cross-chain communication across chains connected to the AggLayer. We’re challenging you to develop a fully functional implementation of the unified bridge that allows seamless transfer of Ethereum across different chains without wrapping.

💡 Project Ideas

  • Cross-Chain DAO: Develop a multichain DAO with the help of cross messaging using the Unified Bridge
  • Cross-Chain Wallet: User’s should be able send assets to and fro from chains without knowing which chain they are connected to. For eg :- Alice can send tokens from Sepolia to Bob without knowing that Bob wants to receive the assets on Polygon zkEVM

Note: Prize allocations may be adjusted based on the number of entries and their adherence to the criteria.

Qualification Requirements

  • Demo: Create a demo showcasing the transfer of either L1 to L2 or L2 to L2 transaction from one chain to another using the Unified Bridge (it can include Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM among others)
  • Transfer Integrity: Ensure that the transferred Ethereum retains its original form and is not wrapped (i.e, it is ETH and not WETH, ETH.e etc.)
  • Documentation: Provide detailed documentation, including setup instructions, technologies used and architecture/conceptual diagrams
🧩 Best zk App on Polygon ⸺ $6,000
🥇
1st place
$2,000
🥈
2nd place
$1,000 ×4

We're seeking apps that leverage zero-knowledge (zk) technology to create secure and privacy-preserving applications on Polygon. This bounty is aimed at projects that push the boundaries of zk technology, offering innovative solutions and demonstrating the potential of zk in various domains.

💡Ideas

  • Plonky3: Projects using Plonky3 for zk applications.
  • Privado ID: dApps that integrate Privado ID for identity solutions.
  • SP1: Projects leveraging SP1 for verifiable off-chain computation.

Note: Prize allocations may be adjusted based on the number of entries and their adherence to the criteria.

Qualification Requirements

  • Zero-knowledge Technology Integration: Develop an application that incorporates zk to solve a specific problem or enhance functionality
  • Deployment: Your MVP must have components deployed on Polygon’s zkEVM Mainnet or Cardona (testnet)
  • Documentation: Provide detailed documentation, including setup instructions, architecture/conceptual diagrams, and an explanation of the zk technology used
