Pro Tips from Top Earners

@lightning_dev’s Strategy:

“Focus on performance benchmarks. Judges love measurable improvements. My 290ms execution time vs 600ms baseline made my arbitrage bot stand out.”

@defi_architect’s Approach:

“Build for real users, not just demo purposes. My yield farm launched with actual users because I focused on UX and security from day one.”

@ui_master’s Secret:

“Mobile-first design wins bounties. 70% of DeFi users are on mobile but most submissions ignore this. Easy differentiation.”
