About the Hackathon

Reactive Bounties 2.0

Reactive Network is running a focused bounty program for hackers who can execute a well-specified use case with production-grade quality. We publish one concrete task at a time here; you ship the best implementation.

Who this is for:

  • Hackers who build to a spec and deliver reusable code
  • Anyone applying Reactive Contracts to real, concrete flows
  • Builders who value quality, security, tests, and maintainability

How it works

  • One track, three bounties total
  • Each bounty runs for 2 weeks
  • We announce a precise use case and requirements for each bounty
  • Each bounty is judged independently with its own winner and runner-up

What you build

  • See the list of bounties here and apply for the one that is currently running: https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/reactive-bounties-2/bounties
  • Implement the provided use case with Reactive Contracts and any supporting contracts/services
  • Testnet deployments are allowed (mainnet not required)
  • Focus on correctness, security, edge cases, and clean architecture

Deliverables

  • Working dApp or service deployed on Reactive testnet or mainnet and any of the other EVM chains or Ethereum Sepolia testnet
  • Public GitHub repo
  • Clear README with setup, deploy, and run instructions
  • Short write-up or a 3–5 min video explaining design, threat model, and trade-offs
  • Tests covering core logic and edge cases
  • IMPORTANT! Step-by-step description of the workflow with transaction hashes for every step.
  • Contract and deployment addresses

Judging Criteria

A successful application MUST:

  • Be submitted for a specific bounty before its deadline and fullfill its requirements, the list of bounties can be found here: https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/reactive-bounties-2/bounties
  • Utilize Reactive Contracts in a meaningful way. Simply deploying standard Solidity contracts on the Reactive Network is not enough. Your solution MUST incorporate reactivity—RCs should respond to EVM events and trigger transactions accordingly.
  • It MUST be deployed on Reactive testnet or mainnet
  • It MUST сontain the Reactive Contracts and Destination smart contracts, the deploy script, and the instructions for it.
  • If the application uses its own Origin contracts, the repository MUST also include these contracts, along with their deploy scripts and instructions.
  • It MUST contain the address of the Reactive Contracts deployed by the team.
  • It MUST contain the addresses of the Origins and Destination smart contracts.
  • It MUST contain a detailed explanation of the problem Reactive Contracts solve in that use case and why it is more difficult or even impossible to solve it without them.
  • It MUST contain the step-by-step text description of how this setup works after being deployed.
  • The team MUST run this workflow. The application MUST include the transaction hashes for every step of the workflow, for Origin transactions, Reactive transactions, and Destination transactions.
  • The application MUST contain a presentation/demo video, no longer than 5 minutes. The video might contain slides, narration, app or code demonstration, depending on what the team finds more persuasive. The judges from Reactive team will watch the video/read pitch deck/write-up, as well as read the code and the docs.

The applications will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Code quality: clarity, modularity, tests, docs, readability
  • Correctness and edge-case handling under realistic conditions
  • Security: adversarial thinking, invariants, failure modes, mitigations
  • Meaningful use of Reactive Contracts
  • Operational maturity: deployment scripts, runbooks, reproducibility

Prizes

For each bounty the prizes are $1,500 in native REACT for 1st place, $500 in native REACT for runner-up. Additionally, winners receive ecosystem visibility, tehcnial and marketing support from the Reactive team.

The winners of each bounty will be announced 1 week after the corresponding bounty deadline.

Official support

  • Primary channel: Telegram — https://t.me/reactivedevs
  • We answer spec questions, clarify edge cases, and point to relevant docs

Getting started

Why Reactive

  • Fully EVM-compatible execution layer for event-driven apps
  • Reactive Contracts autonomously react to on-chain events and trigger cross-chain actions without user intervention
  • Built for automation, DeFi, infra, and coordination logic
