What to Submit

Your submission should consist of two key components: a compelling video showcasing your creation and the underlying code that brings it to life. Optionally, you can also include a second video featuring a code walkthrough. This additional video can be immensely helpful for our judges, offering them a deeper insight into your project and helping them understand your innovative work even better.

Per the rules, participants must 'provide a URL to your code repository for judging and testing. We prefer public, open-source repos. If your repo is private, it must be shared with testing@devpost.com and mneri@ripple.com before the deadline.
