❓FAQ

What Should Be in the Project Presentation?

We recommend creating a video presentation about the project.

You should cover:

  • Team background
  • The product itself
  • Why you started developing the product
  • Potential market opportunities
  • How you launched or plan to launch the product to the target audience (or user feedback if available)
  • How the product works or will work (demonstration)
  • The presentation should be no longer than five minutes.
Do I Need to Be in Ukraine to Participate in Kumekathon?

No, you can participate and submit your project from anywhere in the world.

What Are the Project Evaluation Criteria?
  • Team:

Who is creating the product? Does the team have the relevant experience? Why are they interested in solving the problem?

  • Functionality:

How well does the product work? How well is the code written?

  • Potential Impact:

How large is the market the project will cover? What will be its impact on the Solana ecosystem?

  • Novelty:

How unique is the project's concept?
