2. Upvote your favorite projects
- Every ccProfile holder can vote once per day. The vote quota refreshes every day at 00:00 UTC.
- One vote for a winning project counts as one entry into the raffle. Winning projects are projects who win at least one bounty from the hackathon. For more details on bounties, please see our Guidelines.
- The raffle will be divided into two tranches. Users who vote for winning projects with fewer votes will have a greater chance of winning the raffle. For more details, see our blog post.
- Note that the number of votes received by projects is only one factor to be considered for judges’ evaluation. The leaderboard ranking is not the hackathon result.
