DEVFRIDGEHACKATHON / BUILD SEASON

GUIDE 06 / PREPARATION EDITION

Evaluation rubric

A published 100-point preparation rubric. Build quality and player experience come first.

How projects will be assessed

This rubric helps you prepare a balanced submission. The judging panel, judging dates, tie-break procedure and final event terms will be announced before submissions open. It does not announce winners or prizes.

30 points · Playability & craft

  • A complete, enjoyable loop with clear controls, feedback and a reason to replay.
  • Readable art direction, purposeful 3D materials and consistent performance.
  • Polish of the actual playable build, not just the pitch or screenshots.

25 points · DevFridge integration

  • Correct wallet, mint, amount, duration and expiry checks.
  • Clear distinction between mock demonstration and real program evidence.
  • Honest onboarding, fee disclosure and recoverable wallet/network failures.

20 points · Community usefulness

  • A specific audience and a meaningful role for its token.
  • An enjoyable retention loop with fair access rules and no price promises.
  • Distinctive world, social interaction or recurring challenges that fit the community.

15 points · Desktop & mobile delivery

  • Touch controls, responsive UI and a complete run on a physical phone.
  • Phantom flow, audio recovery and background handling.
  • Accessible instructions, readable text and usable loading/error states.

10 points · Agentic process & reproducibility

  • A concise build log explaining prompts, agent contributions and human review.
  • Clean setup, pinned dependencies, relevant tests and disclosed limitations.
  • Traceable sources and licensed assets.

Safety is a prerequisite

Missing wallet safety, malicious behaviour, plagiarism or misleading financial claims cannot be offset by a high visual score. Reviewers should record blocking issues separately from points. Token price, market cap, deposits and trading volume earn no points.
