What if smart contracts could understand context, evidence, and intent — not just execute predefined rules?
I built Nuance on @GenLayer to explore exactly that.
If you’re a dev who loves building for hackathons to earn cool cash, this is for you.
I built HackOdds.
It’s an aggregator that pulls live hackathons from Devpost, DoraHacks, Devfolio, Hackquest, Hacklist and more, then ranks them by the number that actually matters:
prize ÷ people already registered.
Not “who has the fattest prize pool.”
Who has fat prize money and a quiet room.
Because a $200k hackathon with 4,000 signups and a $15k one with 40 people are not the same bet. Every other board hides that.
How it works:
- fetches events from 6 feeds every day
- merges duplicates so the same hackathon doesn’t show up 3 times
- divides prize by (registrations + 1) : the +1 is you
- tags rooms good / mid / crowded
- if a site doesn’t publish crowd size, it says “not reported.” Never fake 0. Fake 0 would make every unknown event look empty and jump to #1
You also get:
- what’s closing soon
- new listings from the last 48 hours
- crowd velocity once there are real snapshots
- GitHub login for a watchlist + a “for you” rank based on languages in your public repos
~162 live events on the board right now.
If you pick hackathons by the poster, you enter the loudest room.
If you pick them by prize per rival, you see the quiet money.

Collected my winnings!
Passed Go, cashed out my cut of the $400 leaderboard payout 💰 — plus the Bank dropped $100 into the Community Chest for tournaments.
No "get out of jail free" card needed — earned this one fair and square. 🎩🏨
@Celo@CeloDevs@minipay
Funds released 💰
We just paid out $400 to our Top 40 users on the leaderboard for May & June, plus $100 into in-house tournaments.
Real rewards for real grinders. This is just the start 🎩

Top 3 projects:
🥇 Tycoon by @Blockopoly1 - for the second month in a row! But their main achievement goes beyond rewards: They showed up consistently and just got listed on @minipay
🥈 @playchessify
🥉 @ActionorderHQ
In addition to their rewards, they will also get mentorship sessions w/ @LuukDAO, @viral_sangani and @SZapelao!
DAOs gave out $100M+ in grants last year.
Most of it was enforced by a spreadsheet and a group chat.
We built something different.
GrantOS the first grant protocol where milestone delivery is enforced by cryptographic proofs, not committee opinion.
A builder doesn't submit a GitHub link.
They submit a ZK proof.
The contract verifies it.
The funds release automatically.
No trust. No screenshots. No "just check the PR bro."
Pure math.
