# Event Overview [Cellula](https://factory.cellula.life/welcome) proudly presents the world’s first fully on-chain AI game utilizing the vPOW consensus mechanism, powered by GPU computing. This innovative hackathon invites global developers to harness the power of the [Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life) to create high-performance 4x4 gene-type BitLife. Engage with the Bitcoin POW mining mechanism in a gamified experience and contribute to the future of mining within the Cellula ecosystem. Dive into the Cellula and discover the top-performing 4x4 gene-type BitLife. This event is a key step towards the official launch of 4x4 gene-type BitLife, aiming to spark creativity and foster deeper engagement and participation within our community. # Partners and Media Support - **Organizer**: [Cellula](https://www.cellula.life/) - **Powered by**: [BNB Chain](https://www.bnbchain.org/en) - **Partners**: Dorahacks, Gen3, GeekWeb3, Rebase, Undefined Labs, XueDAO - **Media Support**: Blockbeat, Bitcoin Addict, Coinvestasi, Foresight News, TechFlow # Key Dates - **Event Duration**: Sept 11 — Oct 2 (3 weeks) - **Gene-Type Computation and Submission**: Sept 11 — Sept 29 - **Results Announcement**: Oct 1 - **Prize Distribution**: Oct 2 # Prize Pool Allocation and Prize Distribution **Total Value**: Approximately 10,000 USDT - **Top 3 Winners**: 1,000 USDT each (totaling 3,000 USDT) - **BitCell NFTs**: 10 BitCell NFTs (valued at 3,000 USDT) - **High-Performance BitLife**: 100 BitLifes (valued between 15 USDT to 50 USDT each) - **Exclusive Mining Machine Naming Rights**: For top developers ### Prize Distribution: - **USDT Distribution**: USDT will be directly transferred to the wallet addresses provided by the winning participants. - **BitCell NFT Distribution**: BitCell NFTs will be sent directly to the Bitcoin addresses provided by the winners.

This is how we’ll contact you if you win! # Participation, Submission, and Support ### Join the Game and Access the Event Page 1. Visit the official [Cellula website](https://www.cellula.life/) and connect your wallet to get started. 2. Click on the “4x4 Gene-Type BitLife Hackathon” module on the right side of the homepage to enter the event page. ### Access the 4x4 Crafting Table - Click "Join" to access the 4x4 Crafting Table and begin creating your 4x4 gene-type BitLife. ### Create a BitLife on the Crafting Table - **Upgraded Crafting Table**: Cellula’s Crafting Table has expanded from a 3x3 to a 4x4 grid, unlocking more BitLife combinations. Experiment with various combinations on this larger grid. - **Combination Rules**: Use a minimum of 2 BitCells and a maximum of 16 BitCells to create a BitLife. After synthesis, click the play button to view your BitLife’s 30-day computational power value. - **Evolution Process**: BitLife will evolve according to the rules of Conway’s Game of Life. The evolution generates rewards for the BitLife holder. ### Track Your BitLife’s Hashrate - **Evolutions**: BitLife evolves every 5 minutes, with up to 288 evolutions per day. - **Hashrate**: BitLife's evolution value is tracked by its “Hashrate,” with higher values indicating stronger and rarer BitLife. - **Hashrate Growth**: Different combinations result in varying Hashrate growth patterns. Some BitLifes grow rapidly, while others start slow and accelerate later. ### Calculate Your BitLife’s 30-Day Hashrate - **30-Day Hashrate**: To compare BitLifes, aggregate their Hashrate over 30 days (288 evolutions per day * 30 days = 8,640 evolutions). - **Hashrate Calculation Tools**: Use the [Cellula Hashrate Calculation Tool](https://img.cellula.life/evolution-util/evolution.zip) or create your own. Conway’s Game of Life is Turing-complete, offering endless possibilities. While the tool is basic, we encourage participants to develop advanced methods. ### Submit Your BitLife - **No Barriers**: All players are welcome to participate in the hackathon. - **Submission**: During the event, submit your BitLife combination through our product page by clicking “Participate Now,” or use our official API interface. - **Performance Check**: Ensure that your BitLife’s 30-day Hashrate is greater than 18,329,471 to qualify. # Submission Methods 1. **Event Page**: Create your BitLife on the Crafting Table and submit it through the event page by clicking "Participate." 2. **API**: Follow the specified format for API submissions. [API Documentation](https://img.cellula.life/evolution-util/Cellula%204x4%20Gene-Type%20BitLife%20Hackathon%20API.pdf). ## Verification Submissions will undergo a verification process, which may cause delays. Please be patient during this process. ## Compete for Rewards - **Leaderboard**: Submissions will be ranked based on the 30-day Hashrate value, with rewards given to the top 118 participants. - **Unique Hashrate**: Your BitLife’s 30-day Hashrate must be unique on the leaderboard. Duplicate values will not be accepted. For example, if Player A submits a BitLife with a 30-day Hashrate of 12,345,678, and Player B submits the same value, Player B’s submission will be rejected. # Hackathon Developer Support If you need assistance, message us in the 📭 | Hackathon channel on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/cellula-official).
