How to Apply for Stellar Hacks: Real-World ZK — ₹9.2L Hackathon Prize Pool

Entries are built and submitted during the hackathon itself, and the organisers assess them against three stated criteria:

• Innovation — how original the concept is and how creatively zero-knowledge proofs are applied.
• Technical implementation — the quality of the build and how well it functions on Stellar.
• Real-world applicability — whether the application addresses a problem people would genuinely use it for.

The USD 10,000 prize pool is then distributed among the winning submissions. No detailed round-by-round judging schedule or per-place prize split has been published.
