The rule on existing code
Solo or teams, no sign-up, one final submission form with a public repo and a public X demo post. Only NEAR integration code built during the event window (from the Oct 19 2026 announcement) is judged. An existing product on another chain can be the base if you disclose it in the README and show a branch or tag diff. Testnet only is fine.
