About the Bounty

ONDC is a network that enables location-aware, local digital commerce stores across industries to be discovered and engaged by any network-enabled applications. It is neither a super aggregator app nor a hosting platform.

All existing digital commerce apps and platforms can voluntarily choose to adopt and be a part of the ONDC network. In addition, the responsibility for onboarding of sellers and buyers and the management of the end-to-end order lifecycle will also continue to reside with the network-enabled applications.

Superteam India and ONDC are hosting a prize track in the Solana global hackathon to help find and support founders who can build on the ONDC network using Solana. The goal of this deep dive is to help potential participants learn more about the state of the ONDC network.
