Hello World! by Polkadot
Gitcoin has integrated Polkadot and Kusama tokens (DOT and KSM) into its tech stack, making them one of the first full integrations outside of the Ethereum ecosystem.
To celebrate the integration on Gitcoin, we are organising Hello World! by Polkadot, a series of challenges to bring you on a journey of Polkadot development discovery.
Check out the kick-off webinar for more details and information.
Challenges and prizes
The challenges are in four categories: (1) Beginner, (2) Intermediate, (3) Advanced, and (4) Ecosystem. The first three are written specifically for Polkadot and Kusama, whereas the Ecosystem category is made up of challenges created by Polkadot ecosystem projects. Challenge payouts are capped at 50, meaning that only the first fifty valid submissions will receive a payout.

🧑💻 [ECOSYSTEM CHALLENGE] (*Advanced) Build the First Confidential Contract
Challenge description
In this challenge, you are going to continue in the development environment we have set up in the previous challenge, explore how a confidential smart contract is made, and hack on it to create a new confidential contract dapp!
This is the second challenge of our “Hello World” challenge series. By the end of this task, you should have:
- Learn how to develop a confidential contract
- Interact with the contract from the Web UI
- Build your own confidential contract
Please check out our Tutorial on this task.
Submission requirements
- Fork the core blockchain and the Web UI repo (helloworld branch) into your own GitHub account
- Develop your own contract on the templates at “helloworld” branch (must be a different one from existing submissions)
- Launch your full development stack and take screenshots of your dapps
- Push your work to your forked repos. They must be open source
- Make a tweet with the link to your repos, the screenshots, and describe what you are building on Twitter
- Join our Discord server and submit the the link to your tweet
Submission at gitcoin.co: Please first start the work in the gitcoin task page, and then submit the work after you have finished the above steps. Gitcoin will ask you to fill the submission with a link to the Pull Request. However it's not necessary to create a real pull request. You can fork the Polkadot Hello World repo (or this one), create a folder for this challenge, and write a readme file with the link to your code, and with the screenshots attached. Then put the link to the readme file as the Pull Request in the gitcoin submission.
