Supra, a fully integrated Layer-1 blockchain, has announced the launch of its “Super dApp Showdown” competition, inviting skilled blockchain developers to build and deploy innovative applications on its high-performance network.

The competition, set to begin in August 2024, will offer participants the chance to compete for investments from Supra’s newly established $100 million Ecosystem Fund.

The Super dApp Showdown aims to showcase the capabilities of Supra’s powerful Layer-1 network, which boasts Multi-VM support, in-protocol oracles, verifiable randomness generators (VRF), bridges, and automation features.

By providing developers with a comprehensive set of tools on a single chain, Supra hopes to foster the creation of a new generation of “Super dApps.”

Season One of the competition will run for three months, with 12 winners to be selected by a panel of judges across various categories such as DeFi, GameFi, and Web3 Social.

The judging panel will include representatives from Supra’s leadership team, well-known “whales” from the reality TV show Killer Whales, and experts from key ecosystem partners like Google Cloud, Republic Crypto, and HashKey Capital.

The judging process will also consider feedback from Supra’s community, who will be invited to vote on their favorite Super dApps.

For developers, the Super dApp Showdown presents a unique opportunity to gain exposure to Supra’s highly-engaged audience of over 500,000 verified token holders on their gamified community platform “Project Blast Off,” as well as a broader community of 1.3 million email subscribers.

Each week, a winning team’s Super dApp will be featured on the Blast Off platform, with missions and quests designed to help users learn about the project. Builders can choose the nature of the rewards offered, such as prizes, airdrops, in-game assets, or NFTs.

Supra’s Layer-1 network is powered by the Moonshot consensus mechanism, which has demonstrated impressive performance in advanced global testing, processing 530,000 transactions per second across 125 globally distributed nodes, with 500-millisecond optimistic finality and ~1.5–2 seconds full finality.

The blockchain is vertically integrated with the Distributed Oracle Agreement (DORA) protocol and Supra’s decentralized VRF to ensure real-time data accessibility and transparency in random outcomes for various use cases.

Winners of the Super dApp Showdown will receive investments from the $100M Ecosystem Fund, the opportunity to appear on Killer Whales and pitch their ideas to top investors in the crypto industry, consultations with Supra’s team, free access to Supra’s core services, zero-fee access to a token launch platform, cross-promotion and marketing support, and networking opportunities with an extensive ecosystem of VCs and partners.

Supra plans to host the Super dApp Showdown on an ongoing basis, with new seasons launching every three months, providing ample opportunities for teams to showcase their projects to one of the fastest-growing communities in Web3.
