#### How to win this track?

* [x] Good documentation
* [x] Solve a specific problem
* [x] Quality code

#### Description

In this track, we don't expect you to build a fully functional blockchain using Substrate but only a functional runtime module which solves a specific problems. If you are new to Polkadot and Substrate. Follow tutorials from the [official documentation](https://docs.substrate.io/quick-start/) or learn from the [Substrate Hackathon Knowledge Map](https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/hackathon-knowledge-map) which contains many resources.

[Runtime modules](https://docs.substrate.io/reference/frame-pallets/) are core components of FRAME system in [Substrate Runtime development](https://docs.substrate.io/learn/runtime-development/). The FRAME development environment provides modules—called pallets—and support libraries that you can use, modify, and extend to build the runtime logic to suit the needs of your blockchain. Below are some examples:

* [pallet-staking](https://crates.parity.io/pallet_staking/index.html) is used to manage funds at stake by network maintainers which is used to implement the Proof of Stake blockchain or NPOS (Nominated Proof of Stake) blockchain using Substrate.
* [pallet-evm](https://docs.rs/pallet-evm/latest/pallet_evm/) is the EVM module allows unmodified EVM code to be executed in a Substrate-based blockchain.
* [pallet-nft](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-nft-pallets) allow developers to easily implement NFT-related actions within their dApp.

#### Resources

* [Tutorial: Create your first runtime module](https://doc.deepernetwork.org/tutorials/v3/add-a-pallet/): Learn how to create your first [pallet-nicks](https://crates.io/crates/pallet-nicks) runtime module that allows you to assign a nick name for account on your Substrate-based blockchain.
* [Open Runtime Module Library (ORML)](https://github.com/open-web3-stack/open-runtime-module-library?tab=readme-ov-file): If you have developed Solidity application before, you might be familiar with [OpenZeppelin](https://www.openzeppelin.com/) which offers standard contract that help you to speed up the contract development process. In Substrate, we have ORML which contains a set of useful runtime modules.

### 🟨 Deploy an Appchain on DanceBox, Tanssi's Testnet

#### Deliverables

* [x] Deploy your Appchain on Tanssi Network
* [x] Pitch deck of your Appchain
* [x] Demo of your Appchain functionalities

#### How to win this track?

* [x] Appchain is innovative
* [x] Appchain tackles specific problems
* [x] Appchain must be built on Tanssi Network

#### Description

Tanssi is an appchain infrastructure protocol that makes deploying blockchains with custom logic specific to certain types of applications significantly easier than what is available today.

Appchains provide the ultimate control over the logic that powers the runtime of the blockchain. Consequently, they offer an excellent way for projects to scale and build optimized solutions for their products, resulting in a superior user experience.

Dancebox is the first public Tanssi TestNet and is designed to streamline the deployment of appchains. It allows teams to swiftly onboard and launch their appchains within minutes, providing a robust environment for testing and development.
