What to Build

Build anything that uses RAIL. Seriously, anything. We want to see what you come up with.

  • Real-world apps: Payment platforms, AI agent communication, microtransactions
  • Fun stuff: Meme generators, community tools, games, experiments
  • Wild ideas: Something we haven't thought of yet

The only requirement: it must use RAIL's x402 protocol on Solana.

Judging Criteria

We're looking for projects that are creative, well-executed, and fun. Whether it's a serious app or a hilarious meme, make it good.

  • Creativity: Did you do something unique? Bonus points for making us laugh or think differently
  • Execution: Does it work? Is the code clean? Did you ship something complete?
  • Experience: Is it easy to use? Does it look good? Would people actually want to use it?
  • Impact: Could this be useful? Or at least entertaining? We value both
