Introduction
During the World Cup, anyone can deploy World Cup-themed Uniswap v4 Hooks contracts on X Layer via Launchpad. At the end of the tournament, the Top 3 Token Creators — ranked by cumulative real trading volume after graduation — will share up to $200,000 USDT in prizes.
Prizes
The prize pool unlocks in tiers based on total tournament trading volume — each time the cumulative volume hits the next threshold, the corresponding prize tier is unlocked. The Top 3 Token Creators split the currently unlocked prize pool.
Requirements
Hooks are only eligible for the leaderboard if they meet all of the following criteria. Failing any single one will disqualify the entry.
- Projects must be World Cup-themed and launched on X Layer.
- Projects must have a dedicated X account, tag @XLayerOfficial at submission, and post actively throughout the competition.
- Submit contracts via one of two methods:
Method 1: Apply for hooks allowlist via and include the PR link in the Google Form.
Method 2: Launch via Hook on X Layer (e.g. eulr.fun) and graduate to Uniswap V4. - Submit via by Jul 12, 23:59 UTC.
Rules
When the hackathon ends, a snapshot will be taken of the cumulative OKX Wallet trading volume across all participating tokens. The anti-Sybil team will then conduct a final review of the Top 30 (merging multi-accounts / disqualifying violations). Awards will be announced on July 19, along with the release of the full data report.
