<a href="https://x.com/SUPRA_Labs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Supra</a>, a completely vertically integrated Layer-1 blockchain with Multi-VM support, in-protocol oracles, VRF, bridges, and automation capabilities, is thrilled&nbsp;to announce the launch&nbsp;of its competition, the “<a href="https://supra.com/super-dapp-showdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Super dApp Showdown</a>.”
The competition’s first season is slated to start in August 2024, and judges from Supra, Google Cloud, Republic Crypto, Hashkey Capital, and the popular crypto-focused&nbsp;reality TV series <a href="https://www.hello.one/killerwhales" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Killer Whales</a>—will be voting on the best projects.
The most accomplished blockchain developers in the sector&nbsp;are being invited by the platform to create and implement what Supra refers to as “Super dApps” on its robust&nbsp;Layer-1 network. Competing for investments from Supra’s recently launched $100 million Ecosystem Fund will be an opportunity&nbsp;for participants.
The Super dApp Showdown offers developers an amazing chance to get started quickly by showcasing their Super dApps to 1.3 million email subscribers and over 500k verified unique token holders—both of whom are highly engaged—on their gamified community platform, Project Blast Off. The Blast Off platform will showcase a winning team’s Super dApp each week, complete with missions and objectives to educate people about their project. The builders will have the option to choose the kind of incentives that will be given out, including in-game assets, airdrops, prizes, and NFTs. Every week, users who interact with dApps may expect additional perks including partner airdrops, giveaways, and digital collectibles.
August marks the start of Season One of the Super dApp Showdown, which will last for three months. Following that, a team of judges from several categories, including DeFi, GameFi, and Web3 Social, will choose 12 winners. In addition to well-known “whales” from the famous reality TV series Killer Whales, created by HELLO Labs and modeled after the well-liked Shark Tank TV series but with an emphasis on Web3 businesses, the judges will include members of Supra’s leadership team.
Experts from significant ecosystem partners like Google Cloud, Republic Crypto, HashKey Capital, and others will be among the other judges on the <a href="https://supra.com/super-dapp-showdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Super dApp Showdown</a> panel. Supra’s community, who will be asked to cast votes for their preferred Super dApps, will also be consulted throughout the judging process. Builders that are interested in competing may do so by visiting Supra’s <a href="https://supra.com/super-dapp-showdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Super dApp Showdown application website</a>.
Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra, said in a quote:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “We are thrilled to collaborate with Killer Whales as our media partner for the Super dApp Showdown and beyond. At Supra, we understand that attracting the right builders and founders requires a combination of capital and exposure. Along with access to Supra’s $100 million Ecosystem Fund and 500k verified token holders, projects will also have the chance to get featured on Killer Whales, benefiting from their exceptional team, high-quality production, and significant visibility.”
</blockquote>
Sander Gortjes, Co-Founder of HELLO Labs and Executive Producer of Killer Whales, went on to say:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “We are excited to work together with Supra on the growth of their ecosystem and provide a podium for the projects that emerge as winners of the Super dApp Showdown with Killer Whales and our streaming partners, potentially giving them a televised reach of 600 million people globally”.

Developers can explore&nbsp;the capabilities of Supra’s cutting-edge Layer-1 network, which vertically integrates key blockchain and oracle services, such as its industry-leading price feeds, verifiable randomness generators, automation, and bridges into a single, high-performance stack, during the Super dApp Showdown. In addition, their L1 supports several virtual machines (VMs), allowing developers from MoveVM and EVM chains to launch dApps directly on Supra and compete; support for SolanaVM and CosmWasm is also underway.
The innovative Moonshot consensus method, which powers the Supra L1’s lightning-fast speed and strong security assurances, was designed to decrease friction surrounding user onboarding and experience in Web3. Supra outperformed most other competing consensus mechanisms during its advanced global testing phase, demonstrating Moonshot’s capacity to process 530k transactions per second across 125 nodes distributed globally, with 500 milliseconds for optimistic finality and ~1.5–2 seconds for full finality.
The Distributed Oracle Agreement (DORA protocol), a state-of-the-art oracle that offers real-time data accessibility to allow the construction of quicker and more functioning dApps spanning DeFi, GameFi, and other blockchain use cases, is vertically integrated with the Supra blockchain. In order to guarantee complete transparency and unpredictable results in games, prize draws, and other contexts, it also integrates Supra’s unique decentralized verifiable randomization generator, Supra dVRF.
Building on Supra will enable developers to see firsthand the performance advantages of its completely vertically integrated L1, with contributions from the $100M Ecosystem Fund going to the winning projects. Additional advantages include the opportunity for winning teams to pitch their ideas to some of the top investors in the cryptocurrency space on Killer Whales, as well as free access to Supra’s core services, zero-cost access to a token launch platform, cross-promotion and marketing via Supra’s social media channels, and networking opportunities with a large network of partners and venture capitalists.
Supra intends to continue hosting the Super dApp Showdown, releasing new seasons every three months. This means that companies that aren’t quite ready for Season One won’t have to wait very long to interact with one of Web3’s fastest-growing communities. Advocates of Web3 may follow the competition and submit an application on <a href="https://supra.com/super-dapp-showdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Supra’s application website</a> to display their Super dApps.
