Winners are announced.
The Bear Necessities Hackathon by Moonbeam & AWS encourages building with core Web3 infrastructure. It offers a fun, competitive, and rewarding environment to explore Moonbeam's interoperable features and create cross-chain connected applications.
This hackathon is supported by teams building critical Web3 infrastructure, that provide core functions for developers to launch applications on Moonbeam. Check the full list of sponsors below!
The Moonbeam Foundation promotes the development, growth, and adoption of Moonbeam and its ecosystem.
Moonbeam is a smart contract platform enabling cross-chain connected applications to access users, assets, and services on any chain. It unites Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, and more, solving fragmented user experiences and unlocking interoperability. Moonbeam's platform uses integrated cross-chain messaging, allowing developers to create smart contracts that access services across remote blockchains. With a developer-friendly EVM platform, extensive tool support, and modern Substrate architecture, Moonbeam is ideal for building connected applications.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster.
Chainlink is the industry-standard Web3 services platform that has enabled trillions of dollars in transaction volume across DeFi, insurance, gaming, NFTs, and other major industries. As the leading decentralized oracle network, Chainlink enables developers to build feature-rich Web3 applications with seamless access to real-world data and off-chain computation across any blockchain and provides global enterprises with a universal gateway to all blockchains.
StellaSwap is one of the first automated market-making (AMM), decentralized exchange (DEX) for the Moonbeam Network. The unique value proposition of StellaSwap is that they are committed to establishing a strong foundation with their native token, STELLA, as a governance token, diverse farms, a built in bridge and user-centered service.
StellaSwap's main objective is to create a broader range of network effects to address the issues of liquidity in the DeFi space, instead of limiting to a single solution like many DEXs are doing now. This manifests itself in the diverse product suite of StellaSwap that will be explained in more details. StellaSwap products are structured in such a way that facilitates decentralized governance of STELLA holders, while continuing to innovate on the collective foundations by design.
SubQuery is an open source blockchain data indexer for developers that provides fast, flexible, reliable, and decentralised APIs to power leading multi-chain apps. Our goal is to save developers' time and money by eliminating the need of building their own indexing solution. Now, they can fully focus on developing their applications. SubQuery helps developers create the decentralised products of the future.
SubQuery also provides free, production grade hosting of projects for developers. Our Managed Service removes the responsibility of managing infrastructure, so that developers do what they do best — build. Find out more here.
The SubQuery Network allows developers to completely decentralise their infrastructure stack. It is the most open, performant, reliable, and scalable data service for dApps. The SubQuery Network indexes and services data to the global community in an incentivised and verifiable way. After publishing your project to the SubQuery Network, anyone can index and host it - providing data to users around the world faster and reliably.
Biconomy is a Web3 developer and transaction infrastructure platform that simplifies UX and accelerates mass Web3 adoption. Their decentralized UX stack offers powerful tools to developers for removing complexities, onboarding users, and scaling dApps. Biconomy launched a hyper-flexible SDK in Nov 2022, enabling developers to integrate with their non-custodial, multi-chain, and gas-efficient relayer infrastructure easily. The SDK provides benefits like one-click user journeys, transaction bundling, and gas fee control, enhancing UX and onboarding for end users.
Seamless UX and onboarding for end users become a reality when dApps and enterprises leverage the benefits of BiconomySDK including:

The Moonbeam Foundation is dedicated to promoting the development, growth, and adoption of Moonbeam and its ecosystem. With these prizes, the foundation would like to recognize projects that stand to make significant contributions to the Moonbeam ecosystem. The Moonbeam Foundation Grand Prizes are awarded to projects that excel in all 4 categories of judging criteria:
There are no additional requirements for this bounty.
Moonbeam has a variety of precompiles (solidity interfaces) that offer powerful features yet are easy to use. As a few examples:
Build something awesome using Chainlink! Anything that came from the Chainlink Documentation counts, such as using Price Feeds, VRF, or Automation.
To be eligible, the project should make use of Chainlink to make a state change on the blockchain to be eligible. It can be any Chainlink services. Nice to have: how you use Chainlink in the project description. It must be possible for the judges to find the Chainlink use in your code. Only the intention to use is not valid. You must present your project for the Chainlink judges! Projects whose team does not present will not be evaluated.
We will look at the following criteria:
StellaSwap is awarding up to 10 prizes of $1,000 to each project that lists itself on StellaSwap's new IDO platform. If more than 10 qualifying projects are submitted, the top 10 highest scoring qualifying projects as determined by the judges will be awarded the prizes.
The Biconomy SDK is a one-stop solution to enable an effortless experience in your dApp as it eases onboarding for new users and abstracts away transaction complexities that that they would otherwise face. This is enabled using Smart Contract Wallets (SCW) built on top of our multi-chain Relayer Infrastructure. We want to see you build what you are passionate about and leverage the SDK while doing so. Here are some problem statements that may help you brainstorm new ideas-
Using the Biconomy SDK build dApps with one-click batched transactions for everyday transactions in web3. For inspiration, check out this 1-click DeFi recipe that uses the Biconomy SDK. How can you leverage different 1-click experiences in your usage of different protocols? Perhaps there are 1-click experiences you would like to see in gaming, web3 social, defi, or NFT marketplaces. Don’t limit yourself to one protocol! Can you combine multiple protocols into a unified UI for batched transactions? Learn more about this here in our docs
Onboarding users who are not native to web3 can be a hassle. To maximize the number of users on your platform, you may want an easy onboarding process for users not native to Web3. Leverage our Social Login modules for easy wallet creation and/or use our Paymaster service to help sponsor transactions in your dApp for a gasless experience within your dApps.
Note that the underlying core of this infra is the SCW & the Bundlers, so using that is mandatory to be eligible for the bounty. Other features like Social login & paymasters aren't mandatory to be included, however, adding these may make your dApp experience better and thus increase your chances to win!
Get started building any of your ideas much faster by utilizing our hacker starter kit templates available on GitHub!

2 runner up prizes of $1,000 each
Up to $5,000
Multiple winners are possible depending on quality of submissions. In the event of multiple winners, the $5,000 prize pool will be split between the winners at the discretion of SubQuery
Create a SubQuery project that indexes ERC721 NFTs from Moonbeam, Moonriver, Astar, and Shiden. This must use SubQuery’s multi chain indexing solution Please visit the Bounty Description on the Subquery Github for more information.
The judges will be looking for completion of the following user stories:
As a user, I would like to view the following attributes of all NFTs from Moonbeam, Moonriver, Astar, and Shiden in a GraphQL request:
