Overview

About the challenge We are presently investigating the applications of gated NFTs in both the physical and digital realms. This encompasses a wide range of possibilities, from gated Discord servers and online communities to real-world gamification initiatives. The Hackathon has been initiated by Andrew, a graduate student from Eastern Michigan University, and is aimed at students from Eastern Michigan University, Eastern University, Thomas Edison State University, and Oakland Universityinstitutions he has attendedas well as Virginia Tech, which is associated with Trevor's alumni network. Students beyond these universities are eligible to join, but they must be University students. Participation in this Hackathon is exclusively for university students, including those pursuing graduate studies. Get started Utilize the code devpost (in all lowercase) to obtain a Pro Plan valid until May 15th, specifically for the purpose of developing an application for this Hackathon, through the BitBadges website and API plans. Additionally, you may download any of the repositories or the BitBadges SDK to commence your work. It is also possible to create claims via BitBadges or access the test network. However, we prefer that final submissions be made on the mainnet.
