Upshot Prizes

Upshot will award $4,000 in total prizes:

Idea #1: Best NFT subgraph or aggregation of NFT data

This prize will be awarded to the most interesting NFT subgraphs or aggregation and visualization of NFT data.

• We’re looking for projects making great use of NFT data sources for analytics and appraisals
• Build NFT subgraphs for specific contracts using The Graph
• Hint: We would love to see subgraphs for OpenSea and Rarible

🛠 For inspiration check out Upshot’s SuperRare subgraph

Idea #2: Best NFT appraisal pricing model

This prize will be awarded to the best NFT pricing model. Novelty of the approach will also be considered when awarding this bounty.

• There is a wide variety of ways to approach NFT pricing; rarity, traits, collection, artist, past sales, open-market data, etc.
• Pricing models may be used to value NFTs and essentially be a type of “appraiser” in Upshot. In other words, you can get paid through Upshot by developing accurate pricing models.
• We recommended leveraging Upshot-built subgraphs for some of the leading NFT marketplaces. Other data sources could include additional subgraphs, the OpenSea API, on-chain data, or anything else.
