Rules and answers
Everything you need to know.
Who can enter?
Anyone able to use a compatible Stacks wallet and meet the requirements shown on the official Zero Authority bounty page.
What do I submit through Zero Authority?
Submit three things: your public Xtrata inscription link, a link to the public post introducing the work, and a short description of what you created and why.
What makes an entry valid?
- The work must be original and you must control the necessary rights.
- It must be successfully inscribed through Xtrata during the bounty period.
- It must be shared publicly before submission.
- You must include the Xtrata inscription link, public post link, and a short description.
- The complete entry must be submitted through Zero Authority before the deadline.
Can I enter something I made previously?
Yes, provided it is your original work and the Xtrata inscription itself is created during the campaign period.
Can I submit more than one piece?
Check the official Zero Authority bounty page for any entry or wallet limits. Each submission should contain one complete set of required deliverables.
Does social engagement determine the winner?
No. Likes, followers, and repost counts do not determine the result. The public share is judged for clarity and storytelling, not popularity.
Can collaborative work be entered?
Yes. One wallet must be nominated to receive any reward, and collaborators are responsible for agreeing how a prize would be divided.
How are rewards paid?
The 300 STX pool is split equally among five winners. Each winner receives 60 STX through the official Zero Authority bounty process, paid to the nominated Stacks wallet.
Is there an entry fee?
There is no separate competition entry fee. Any inscription cost or sponsored inscription arrangement should be confirmed in the official bounty details before launch.
