Valora's Dapp Bake Off
Submissions extended! Apply here by February 18th.
Calling all Celo dapp builders! Valora is hosting a Dapp Bake Off to help dapp builders get exposure to new users. Dapp builders will submit their dapps to be featured on Valora’s new Dapps Page. The Celo ecosystem has evolved quite a bit over the last 6 months with many new users and new projects joining. We’re excited to work with builders to provide a seamless experience for Valora users across the world to engage with dapps that help them leverage their cryptocurrency in useful ways.
Awards
Winners will be awarded with:
Featured placement in Valora’s Dapps page;
10,000 cUSD prize for the winner of each category; and
Joint promotion on Valora's social and marketing channels
Contest structure
Each submitted dapp will get equal exposure on our Dapps Page, spotlighted under a ‘New Apps’ section set up for the contest. For 30 days, Valora will periodically share updates and analytics around dapp usage to this page. Builders can use this to track their progress during the contest so they can alter, update, and make pertinent improvements to their dapp.
Award Categories
The Valora Team will award winners in each of the following categories:
Most popular – Dapp with greatest number of users (i.e., greatest number of unique Valora wallet addresses opening the Dapp)
Most engaging – Dapp with most engagement (i.e., greatest usage measured by as number of transactions per unique Valora wallet address attributable to that Dapp)
Most global – Dapp with the most diverse users (i.e., greatest number of unique Valora wallet addresses from different countries)
Fastest growing – Dapp with the greatest increase in users (i.e., the highest rate of change in unique Valora wallet addresses opening the Dapp)
