# 🚀 YO SDK Hackathon ## Build the Smartest DeFi Savings Account with YO We’re inviting developers to build the best consumer savings experience powered by the YO SDK. YO is proven infrastructure for risk-adjusted, onchain yield. The engine already works. Now we’re looking for the best UX and distribution layer to turn it into a category-defining savings product that real users trust and use every day. --- ## 🎯 Theme Build the smartest savings account in DeFi using YO. Examples: - A consumer savings app - An AI-powered yield agent - A portfolio dashboard - A mobile-first savings UX - A treasury interface **Requirement:** Integrate YO vaults via [YO SDK](https://docs.yo.xyz/integrations/technical-guides/sdk). --- ## 🛠 Technical Requirements Projects must: - Use `@yo-protocol/core` or `@yo-protocol/react` - Execute real deposit and/or redeem flows - Interact with live YO vaults on Base, Ethereum, or Arbitrum - Demonstrate working onchain transactions Mockups alone will not qualify. --- ## 📦 Submission Requirements - GitHub repository - 3-minute demo video - Clear explanation of how the YO SDK was used --- ## 🧠 Judging Criteria ### UX Simplicity — 30% Is this the best savings account experience in DeFi? Is it intuitive, clean, and frictionless? ### Creativity & Growth Potential — 30% Would real users adopt this? Does it introduce thoughtful innovation? Is the user segment well defined, and does the product meaningfully solve their savings need? ### Quality of Integration — 20% Is the YO SDK properly implemented?

If fewer than 10 submissions meet the technical and quality requirements, YO reserves the right to modify or withhold prizes. **Eligibility & Disqualification** Submissions must meaningfully integrate the YO SDK and execute real onchain deposit and/or redeem flows. YO reserves the right to disqualify entries that use mock transactions, misrepresent functionality, violate rules, or fail to meet the stated requirements. All judging decisions are final. --- We’re looking for polished UX, real transaction flows, and production-ready thinking. If this shipped tomorrow, would someone trust it with their savings? **Show us what DeFi savings should feel like.**
