WHY THIS ROUTE
Approval Sweep fits security, wallet or consumer tracks, and a working, deployed app is a strong start. Many events only allow new code or require you to say what existed before, so check each event's rule on existing code.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE
Entered two hackathons within 3 months with a clearly scoped new feature, and placed in or got judge feedback from at least one.

2. Check the existing code rule, in writing
20 minRead the rules page. If it is unclear, ask the organizers directly. If existing projects are not allowed, plan to build a new module or a fresh version and disclose what you reused.
FIRST MESSAGE · EVENT DISCORD OR EMAIL · TO THE HACKATHON ORGANIZERS
Hi, I own Approval Sweep, an existing app on Base. For this event I'd build [new feature] as new code during the hackathon. Is that allowed, and how should I disclose the existing parts?
3. Scope one feature you can finish in the event
45 minPick one feature judges can see in a 2 minute demo that makes Approval Sweep clearly better for everyday crypto users with years of old token approvals. Write the demo script before you write code.
4. Find one teammate
20 minPost in the event's team channel with what you have and what you need (designer, contract dev, writer).
FIRST MESSAGE · HACKATHON TEAM CHANNEL · TO OTHER PARTICIPANTS
Building on Approval Sweep (finds risky token approvals every week and lets you revoke them in one batch, with a streak badge for staying clean). Looking for one [designer / dev] for [track]. I have the base app live and a clear demo plan. DM me.
5. Submit with a clean demo and ask for feedback
90 minRecord a 2 minute video, write what is new versus existing, and submit early. After judging, ask one judge for two lines of feedback.
