Empty for now. Fills the moment the August Finals settle. ZABAL Games Season 1 awards $500 USDC across the top 8 finalists, plus a Champion NFT (via Hats on Base) to the top 3, and a Finisher NFT to every Finalist.
Voting protocol: WaveWarZ-Base hybrid (Doc 720). Market price + Respect-holder baseline allocation across a 72h trade window. Sam + Arthur ship the Base contracts in June, mainnet July, real Finals August.
The Hats Protocol Champion NFT, the prize cut, the recurring mentor slot in Season 2.
Awaiting Finals.

$35 USDC each + Finisher NFT (Hats Protocol, on Base). Every Finalist who ships in the 24h Finals build window keeps the Finisher hat permanently.
Each Finalist becomes a tradable battle entry. Respect-holders get pre-funded positions (~$1-2 USDC each). The market trades for 72h. Final ranking = market price weighted with judge-agent rubric scores. Live settlement readout fires at T+72h on /finals/live.
Why this and not Respect 1p1v? Because price discovery + skin-in-the-game beats pure popularity vote for "which build will actually get used." The Respect-holder baseline keeps the floor honest for builds that are valuable-but-niche.
Top-3 champions get an open invitation to mentor in Season 2. The format compounds - the people who win one Season become the teachers in the next. That is how the body of work grows year over year.
Want to be on this list? Apply as a workshop lead for June, or submit a build in July. Every spot on this page started as one of those two paths.
