we're looking for real products with real Injective integration. show us what you've built.

Judging Criteria

submissions will be evaluated across three categories by a panel of judges:

injective integration (40%) : is Injective core to your product? does it leverage the ecosystem in a meaningful, non-trivial way? (e.g. modules, EVM, CosmWasm, on-chain orderbook, interoperability)

functionality & technical execution (35%) : does it work? is it deployed and accessible — not just a landing page?

UX & design (25%) : is it intuitive and polished enough for real users to navigate?

community choice ($200) : goes to the submission with the highest engagement on X (Twitter) at the close of the submission window.
