Question: Is it compulsory to use Chainstack's blockchain offering?

Answer: No, but we recommend to use a cloud hosted solution for a better demo experience.



Question: How much of a code can be prepared/taken from before?

Answer: We expect that you code for the problem statements we have. However, we leave this to the jury panel to decide upon which part of code can be pre-requisite. Be prepared to prove that or answer jury panel's questions.



Question: Can I use my own infrastructure to run the demo?

Answer: Yes, you are free to choose infrastructure of your choice. We do our best through generous help of sponsors to provide free to use cloud for larger audience. Thanks to Chainstack.



Question: 5 minuted for the demo is short, why don't we extend the time?

Answer: This question is applicable for finalists. 5 minutes per team's demo and 5 min of Q & A would lead to 100 minutes of demo meeting for 10 teams. However, jury will get 5 min break between each demos for their discussions. This will be 150 minutes for 10 teams. This year we will have more than 10 teams in the finals.



Question: I registered, do I need to register my team as well?

Answer: All registrations are team registrations. If you have your name registered you are in-charge or contact point for the team. We will send out additional requests where team submissions can be done.
