Create Content About Mina Protocol in English and Japanese

🌊Welcome to Mina Protocol's Wave Hack

Join WaveHack, a creative competition centered around Mina Protocol, one of the most advanced protocols in the web3 space for zero-knowledge proofs, and use your creativity to spread the word about Mina's appeal and advantages!

This WaveHack, open to all creators from crypto enthusiasts to builders, features a unique theme every two weeks. After a 10-day submission period, there's a rigorous 4-day review. Once the review is complete, grants are paid out immediately.

The purpose of this WaveHack is to raise awareness of Mina's advantages among the audience and promote the use of its protocol. Therefore, in addition to the quality of the content, the likelihood of the content being viewed continuously is also a crucial evaluation point.

Official information can be helpful in content creation. Be sure to check Mina's official website, and join X (Twitter) and Discord to stay updated with the latest information. 

Take on this competition with your unique perspective and aim for the highest evaluation!

We accept content in both English🔤 and Japanese🇯🇵. Those who submit outstanding work may be offered ambassadorship by Mina Foundation.
