Monthly mini-hack​

Every month, Linea hosts a mini-hack to celebrate continuous building! No need to start from scratch - the only requirement is that you're building with Linea, you've had at least one Github commit in the current month, and you've made some noise about it in public!

Things to note:

  • You can submit on behalf on a formal organization (profit-seeking company), but priority will be given to independent hackers
  • You can make multiple submissions
  • You can use an old project and refresh it!
  • If you're in the Linea Builders Club, you can apply for both the public and private tracks!

This month, we're distributing a $1000 pool prize amongst Linea Builders Club members and the wider public.

Due: March 31st, 2024
