Great work deserves more than applause. It should be rewarded!
And reward it we did in the first two rounds of the Spacecoin Writing Contest, with 6,000 USDT awarded to eight standout entries across the contest’s primary tags: #decentralized-internet, #spacetech, and #blockchain-use-case.
As we shared earlier, we’re taking things a step further for the final round by adding another 6,000 USDT to the pot, bringing the total prize pool for Round 3 of the Spacecoin Writing Contest to 9,000 USDT.
These additional prizes will be awarded to winning entries in the #spacecoin, #creditcoin, and #gluwa categories.
If you want to be recognized for the quality of your work (and stake your claim to a share of our 9000 USDT prize pool), you have until October 7, 2025, to enter by tackling one or more of the contest’s prompts.
