Want to stand out at the Zama hackathon? These tips might help you score extra points.

Once you’ve decided on your DApp, get a separate domain name first—it only costs a few bucks but makes your project look much more professional.

Don’t skimp on the npm package documentation; write it in detail. The GitHub README is even more important—lay out the architecture, features, and deployment steps clearly, so the judges can understand what you’re doing at a glance when they review your code.

Also, record a project demo video and upload it to YouTube. Walk through the entire process from installation to running the app—it’s much more intuitive than just written instructions.

Lastly, don’t forget to share your progress on social media, and throw in some praise for Zama’s tech stack (you know what I mean). The more exposure you get, the higher your chances of making the shortlist.
