Chromion: A Chainlink Hackathon

Chainlink Grand Prize

AI & ElizaOS powered AI Agents

For projects bringing new ideas to DeFi—whether by extending existing protocols like Aave or building entirely new ones powered by Chainlink. In addition, projects that focus on the tokenization of RWAs, bringing them onchain to enable a better way to do finance. 

**DeFi Example Ideas:**
- New derivatives or perps protocol that use Data Streams,  Automation, & CCIP
- Cross-chain lending and borrowing protocol
- Multi-chain DEX
- AI-powered onchain yield optimizer
- Liquid staking protocol

**Tokenization Example Ideas:**
- Generating tokenized carbon credits based on an offchain system of record, minting - them across chains
- Tokenizing real estate based on offchain APIs
- Tokenizing game assets enabling  them to be traded & leveraged in DeFi protocols

**Requirements**: Each project must use Chainlink in some form to make a state change on a blockchain, otherwise it will not be eligible for the Chainlink core prizes. This means that a front end simply reading from Chainlink data feeds doesn't count. Using one of Chainlink Data Feeds, Chainlink Data Streams, Chainlink VRF, Chainlink Proof of Reserves, Chainlink Automation, Chainlink Functions or Chainlink CCIP inside your smart contracts is required. 

Note that past onchain hackathon projects will not be accepted as valid submissions. The only exception to this rule is if you and your team have built an existing project without any onchain components. These can be added upon and submitted in a valid manner.

While all project submissions are evaluated holistically, there will be bonus points given for multiple Chainlink services used in a meaningful way within a project. For example, two additional points are awarded for using two services, while three additional points are awarded for using three different services—and so on.

For the best cross-chain financial projects. This track purely focuses on implementations that make sense in a multi-chain world and use CCIP to enable seamless interoperability

**Use Cases:**
- Cross-chain DeFi app with liquidity across multiple chains 
- Cross-chain game where players on chain A can play players on chain B
- Cross chain liquid staking protocol
