 ## Prizes

+All prizes live in the [`prizes/`](prizes/) directory. Each prize is a markdown file following the `LP-XXXX` naming convention.
 
 Prizes are typically defined through an analysis of gaps in the Logos technology stack and its ecosystem. This analysis refers to categories of infrastructure and applications commonly found in mature blockchain systems and their ecosystems as well as the technical dependencies between components.
 
-λPrize is moving from its original **build-and-review** model to an **adoption-first** model. Which scheme a prize follows is shown in the tables below.
-
-- **Adoption-first prizes** are graded on a functionality gate **plus** adoption criteria (real third-party usage, on-chain coverage or activity, and human/social validation where the prize lists it). Manual code review is not the primary gate. See each prize's **Adoption** section for the dimensions we look at. See FAQ below for more details.
-- **Legacy prizes** follow the original first-come-first-served, manual-review model. The remaining live legacy prizes are being wound down (see below).

 **Submissions.** A solution PR in this repository is required to claim any prize. Each builder (or team) is allowed a maximum of **3 submissions** per prize, with at most **one submission/review per week**.
 
-**Feedback.** Initial evaluation feedback is limited to a simple pass/fail result based on the success criteria, and on the **Adoption** section for adoption-first prizes. For more detailed guidance or technical discussion, builders are encouraged to participate in the community Discord. The #builder-hub channel is the best place to ask questions and engage with evaluators or other builders. Logos’ feedback in this regard is meant to just be helpful guidance and not intended to be any particular approval or endorsement of any particular submission or any representation or warranty about its safety, reliability or fitness for any particular purpose.

-**Demo requirements.** For **legacy** prizes, every submission that requires a demo must include a narrated video walkthrough in which the builder explains what they built and why, walks through the architecture and key implementation decisions, and demonstrates the full end-to-end flow. A silent screencast without explanation is not sufficient. Prize-specific demo content is listed in each prize's **Submission Requirements**. For **adoption-first** prizes, a narrated demo is optional unless the prize's Submission Requirements say otherwise.

 ## FAQ
 
-This FAQ covers the current Lambda Prize (LP) scheme that includes adoption-based criteria.
-
 ### How is this meant to work?
 
 Build something useful on the Logos stack, share it, and let other builders pick it up if it helps them. When that usage is real — independent modules, on-chain activity, or whatever the prize lists — open a **solution PR** with evidence. Remember that meeting a number without a solution PR in this repository does not establish priority.

Member accounts must be fresh zero-nonce keypairs claimed by the multisig program — a constraint that private accounts, which are owned by the privacy protocol and increment nonce on every use, cannot satisfy.

The agent has its own identity and funds, can communicate with its owner via chat, and can communicate with other agents. The owner deploys the agent on a remote node with a single CLI command and interacts with it from any Logos app instance on their laptop — no server configuration, no exposed APIs, no custodian.
