**About the Core tech bounty:**

* While the core-tech problem statements are essentially high-intensity projects with a clear alignment for integration with Core Ocean tech, we encourage participants to use the hackathon as a kick-start prior to participation in the main Ocean DAO grants. The best submissions stand a good chance to win even higher grants from Ocean DAO in the upcoming grant cycle of Round14 and henceforth.
* Core Ocean tech solutions stand a chance to win grants starting from 3k USD and even higher grant amounts for long-term projects that complete deliverables on a regular basis.

**What can you do for the hackathon?**

* Create a clear DevOPs documentation on Github/Gitbook along with your mission statement on how you intend to address on any problem described in the Core tech problem statements&#x20;
* All the participants and squads will get an opportunity to present their submissions & ideas and receive valuable feedback from the Core Ocean team during the Core-Tech Working group calls that happen every Wednesday at **3pm - 4pm GMT**\
