Track Overview

This track invites participants to develop a dashboard that monitors and analyzes the health of Solana's staking ecosystem. The goal is to quickly visualize key metrics such as stake distribution, validator performance, and network participation, making it easy for users to grasp the overall state of Solana staking at a glance. Creativity in data visualization and clarity of information are key.

Deliverable

• A fully functional dashboard (web-based interface or application) that aggregates and displays real-time data on Solana staking.

• A detailed project write-up (around 1,000 words) explaining your design choices, data sources, key metrics, and how your dashboard offers a clear snapshot of the network’s health.

• Supporting documentation covering technical implementation, data integration, and any real-time updates.

Judging Criteria

Submissions will be evaluated based on the following baseline criteria in addition to track-specific elements:

• Originality: Use original code, queries, and research. No forking without attribution.

• Accuracy: Factual accuracy of the information and the relevance of the data used.

• Resources: Inclusion of resources to support your claims with proper attributions.

• Writing Style & Presentation: Quality, readability, and engagement level of your content.

• Disqualifications:

  • Submissions will be rejected if:

    • They are not in English.

    • The contents of the submission are less than 1,000 words.

    • They are found to be plagiarized.

  • All submissions must attach links to any references used (failure to include may result in rejection).

  • The link to your submission must be publicly viewable on and after the submission deadline.

In addition, entries will be judged on:

1. Clarity & Usability: How intuitively does the dashboard present complex staking data?

2. Technical Merit: Robustness of data integration, performance of the dashboard, and overall code quality.

3. Insightfulness: Ability to offer actionable insights into the health of the staking network.

4. Creativity: Innovative presentation of data that demystifies the staking ecosystem for a wide audience.

Submission Requirements

• The submission must be in English and publicly viewable at the time of the deadline.

• All work must be original; if open-source components are used, proper attribution is required.

• Provide links to all external data sources or resources used.

• Include a hosted version of your dashboard and a detailed explanatory write-up (minimum 1,000 words).
