A few weeks ago, we partnered with our frens at ETHGlobal for the Scaling Ethereum 2023 hackathon, where thousands of builders from around the world showcased their impressive work.
Now, we’re teaming up with ETHGlobal again for ETHGlobal Tokyo, and we’re challenging you to inspire and surprise the community with your projects using Push Protocol, the most widely used communication protocol in web3.
Be sure to also come hear our Founder and CEO Harsh Rajat speak at Pragma ETHGlobal Tokyo for a special announcement on a new feature that will revolutionize how social networks communicate…
Prize Breakdown
We’re excited to award multiple prizes totaling $5k for the best and most creative use cases, including:
- $1,500 — Grand Prize for the most innovative project using Push Protocol
- $750 — Best Use Case for Push Group Chat/video call integration
- $750 — Best UX for Push integration (Push Notification and/or Push Chat)
- $2,000 — Pool Prize for top 10 projects
Getting Started with Push Protocol
Since Push Protocol went live three years ago, builders from the web3 ecosystem have built a variety of creative and useful use cases with Push, including DeFi, DAO, NFT, and Tooling. We’ve put together some product requests and sample use cases to inspire you further.
Getting started is easy! Follow these simple steps to create a channel, as the first step for sending notifications via Push Protocol:
- Go to http://staging.push.org and connect your wallet.
- Once connected, go to Developer > Create Channel.
- Fill in the Channel Name, Network, and Channel Website URL details.
- Approve the transaction for 50 PUSH.
- After the transaction is approved, approve the second transaction call.
- Congratulations! Your channel has been successfully created, and you are all set to send or receive notifications.
And if you’re looking into Push Chat integration, head over to Push Chat SDK — you’ll be able to integrate wallet-to-wallet chat, whether it’s for customer support or group chat, with a few minutes.
The Ultimate Hackathon Survival Guide
If this is your first time participating in a hackathon, we got you covered.
Here are a few resources and tips to get you started:
- Ultimate Push Integration Cheat Sheet
- Getting Started Developer Docs
- Join the ETHGlobal Discord to find a team or hack alone.
- Go through the Push Use Case Notion Page to get some inspiration.
- Checkout Push workshops for live demos on building with Push, like “How to Add Web3 Notifications to Your Project”. Here’s all of our previous workshops.
- Create clean and easy-to-read documentation to impress the judges.
- Explain what problem you are solving and why your project matters in a short demo video.
- Find the Push crew onsite and our devs in Discord if you need any help from brainstorming to user testing to feedback.
We started building Push at the ETHGlobal hackathon in 2020, and the early feedback convinced us that it could be so much more. So who knows, it might be your project next that goes from Hackathon to web3 sensation!
We’re excited to see what you build at ETHTokyo, and the Push crew will be available to answer all your questions and offer support.
Join us for ETH Tokyo, and let’s push the boundaries of web3 communication together! We can’t wait to see what you build! 🔔
