# **Overview** **Secret Network** enables developers to build decentralized applications with encrypted data, both natively on Secret and on other blockchains through cross-chain communication, as well as confidential AI, unlocking powerful new use-cases for Web3. This is known as Decentralized Confidential Computing, or DeCC. **HackSecret 5** is an opportunity to build cutting-edge AI applications for the Cosmos, EVM, Solana, and [Autonomys Network](https://www.autonomys.xyz/). The hackathon leverages Secret Network's **Secret AI** and decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) capabilities alongside Autonomys Network's Agents Framework and decentralized permanent storage Auto-Drive. With [**Secret AI SDK**](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/secret-ai/sdk), users can ensure that their interactions remain private and protected against unauthorized access. If you are a developer from another ecosystem who has never worked with Secret contracts before, have no fear! Our developer toolkits will teach you everything you need to know to get started and win prizes. Confidential AI unlocks exciting new use-cases, and Secret Network's [Secret AI](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/claive-ai/introduction) enables developers to do this while building on nearly any blockchain! This hackathon includes four tracks, one for confidential AI applications using Secret AI SDK, Autonomys Network's Agents Framework, cross-chain applications (IBC, EVM, or Solana), and one for native Secret applications. The choice is yours! If you have questions, you can [contact](mailto:info@scrt.network) the Secret Network team, or join the Secret Network Developer [Telegram](https://t.me/SecretNetworkDevs) or [Discord](https://scrt.network/discord).

This should include setup instructions, usage guidelines, and any additional information that helps judges and other developers understand the project. - **Demo or Video:** Create a demo or video showcasing your project's functionality. Videos are particularly helpful in conveying the project's value and can be easily shared and understood by judges and the public. Preferably contracts have a usable UI/Mockup to be shown. - **Open Source:** Make projects open source. This fosters collaboration, allows others to learn from your code, and contributes to the broader developer community. The full code of your back and frontend should be submitted under a (restrictive/permissive) open source license. - **Written Description:** Include a README.md in your github repository (max 2 pages) that includes a "User focused summary" (talk about what it does), an "Investor pitch" (What is the problem it solves and where is the product market fit?), and a "Development Deepdive" (How did you build this, how do the contracts/functions interact and which design choices did you make). *NOTE: The jury will compile the codebase and only judge protocols that properly compile with the listed dependencies, this also accounts for UIs or other product deliverables. Adding Tests to your codebase is preferred.* # **Judging Criteria & Selection Process** **Initial Review:** - Upon the submission deadline, the organizing committee will conduct an initial review of all project submissions to ensure they meet the specified entry requirements and guidelines. Submissions failing to meet the criteria will be disqualified from further evaluation. Technical Evaluation: - Qualified submissions will undergo a thorough technical evaluation by a panel of judges with expertise in Secret Network, confidential computation, decentralized computing, and software development. Judges will assess the technical complexity, innovation, and feasibility of each project. Judges will consider the project's ability to address real-world challenges, its potential for adoption and scalability, and the value it brings to the Secret Network community and decentralized confidential computing ecosystem. **Presentation and Q&A Session:** - Finalists will be invited to present their projects to the judging panel during a live virtual event. Teams will have the opportunity to showcase their work, discuss their technical approach, and answer questions from the judges. Presentations will be evaluated based on clarity, coherence, and the team's ability to effectively communicate their project's key features, functionalities, and impact. **Selection of Winners:** - Winners will be announced after the finalist demos, and prizes will be awarded to the top-performing teams. - There are no KYC or contract requirements for prize withdrawal. Developers from all countries are eligible for participation. # **Developer Resources** - [Secret AI SDK Documentation](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/claive-ai/claive-sdk/setting-up-your-environment) - [Secret Network Getting Started Documentation](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/development/readme) - [Confidential Computing for EVM Chains](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/confidential-computing-layer/ethereum-evm-developer-toolkit) - [Confidential Computing for IBC Chains](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/confidential-computing-layer/ibc/secret-ibc-setup) - [Confidential Computing for Solana](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/confidential-computing-layer/solana-developer-toolkit) - [How to Get On-Chain Random Numbers on EVM with Secret VRF](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/development/ethereum-evm-developer-toolkit/connecting-evm-with-snakepath/rng-evm-developer-tutorial) - [How To Encrypt EVM messages using Secret Contracts](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/development/ethereum-evm-developer-toolkit/evm-encryption-decryption-with-secret-contracts) - [Secret Network Reference Contracts](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/development/development-concepts/example-contracts/community-tutorials) - [Autonomys Developer Documentation Hub](https://develop.autonomys.xyz/) - [Autonomys Agent Framework](https://github.com/autonomys/autonomys-agents/tree/main) - [Autonomys Auto SDK](https://www.autonomys.xyz/sdk) - [Autonomys Developer Demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFZndQdx6To) - [Secret Network Developer Discord Channel](https://scrt.network/discord) - [Secret Network Developer Telegram](https://t.me/SecretNetworkDevs) # **Example Project Ideas:** - **Secret AI Trading Agent** A confidential AI agent that securely trades assets on Secret Network by interacting with Secret AI SDK. - **Secret AI Meme Coin Agent** A confidential AI agent that creates a meme coin on Secret Network and promotes it on Twitter using Secret AI SDK. - **Private Health Consultations** A confidential AI app that securely provides medical advice by interacting with Secret AI SDK.
