  • Best use of the pm-AMM by PREDICTSpark$1,000Funded

    Build a product that uses the $PREDICT pm-AMM as a core part of how it works. The pm-AMM is an automated market maker built for outcome tokens on Solana.

    Eligibility

    • The pm-AMM must be a core part of the product, not a side feature or a mock.
    • Working code with a public repo and a short demo.

    Judging criteria

    • Traction (biggest weight): how many users did you actually bring? We judge real, on-chain results, not plans or projections: number of users, trades, volume, and fees generated on the pm-AMM. Show us the numbers.
    • Why the pm-AMM: show you understand the tech (docs). Explain why the pm-AMM works better for your product than other options (order book, LMSR, constant-product AMM, parimutuel…) and what it makes possible that they don't.
    • Narrative: why does this product matter, why now, and why will people care? A clear, compelling story that can attract users and backers.
    • Depth of pm-AMM integration: how central and well-built the integration is.
    • Product today: what works right now. A hackathon build doesn't need to be perfect, but it should work end to end.
    • Standalone potential: could this become a real project after the hackathon?

    Prize If awarded, the prize is a $1,000 investment in the winning project (not a grant), plus support from the Spark team to raise up to $25,000 on Backable.

    If no submission meets the eligibility bar, no winner will be selected.

    Funded by the $PREDICT treasury via futarchy proposal #002.

    • Join our Discord and open a support ticket with your account email and the hackathon name
    • We upgrade you to Developer Plan for 7 days, no card required

    Nothing to judge here, this is infrastructure for everyone in the hackathon. Build on OrbitFlare and mention us in your submission if we helped. Solana development SDKs for Rust, TypeScript and Go plus full docs are at docs.orbitflare.com.
