WHY THIS ROUTE
Payments and stablecoin tracks show up often, and a working sub-cent paywall gives you a solid base to extend during an event.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE

FIRST MESSAGE · EVENT DISCORD OR EMAIL · TO HACKATHON ORGANIZERS
Hi, I have an existing USDC paywall contract I deployed before the event. Can I build a new feature on top of it if I clearly disclose what existed before? Thanks.

4. Find a teammate
