How to submit to CLOCK IN

CLOCK IN submissions close 12 October 2026, 13:59 GMT+2 (11:59 UTC) on the Radiants CLOCK IN site calendar. Judging opens 13 Oct. Results are announced 10 November. The packet is four artifacts: an Android APK, a GitHub repo, a demo video, and a pitch deck. Independent community guide — not affiliated with Solana Mobile, Radiants, or the Solana Foundation. If the official calendar moves, that page wins.

1What they actually ask for

Four things, on Radiants Align:

• Android APK — a release build that installs on a real device. A simulator-only demo is not a submission.
• GitHub repo — source the judges can clone. Public is simplest; you can also share via the Radiants Align GitHub app.
• Demo video — about three minutes, filmed on a device, not a slide read.
• Pitch deck — short. What it is, who it is for, why someone comes back.

One submission per person (solo or one team). Team roster locks at submit. Judging is stickiness / product-market fit, UX, innovation, and presentation / demo (25% each). Prize pool: $125k USDC across 10 places, plus a separate $10k SKR integration prize, plus an optional one-off matched ORE prize among the top 10. Winners must publish to the Solana dApp Store within 30 days of results — not by the 12 Oct close.

2Android APK

Use a release APK, not the debug binary from npm run android. Sign it with your release keystore. Keep the keystore off GitHub.

Expo / React Native from the Solana Mobile template typically goes through EAS or a local Gradle assemble. The file you upload should install on a Seeker (or a recent Android phone) without a debugger attached.

3GitHub repo

Judges need source they can clone and run. Public + MIT is the simple path. The Radiants FAQ also says you can install the Radiants Align GitHub app on the repo instead of inviting judges by hand. README should say what the app is, how to run it, and that it targets Solana Mobile / Seeker.

• No .env, keystores, mnemonics, or API keys in git history.
• Pin the branch you want reviewed (usually main / master).
• If the APK is too large for git, that is fine — the APK is a separate upload.
• Judging looks at commits up to the deadline. Work after close does not count.

4Demo video

The official brief is a demo of about three minutes of the app running on a device. Film the phone, not a slide deck. Show connect wallet, the one thing that makes the app yours, and a transaction or on-device result if you have one. Put the link where Align asks.

Audio is optional. A caption on screen (“Connect → Diagnostics green”) is enough if you are recording silent. A 60-second cut is fine as extra; do not submit only a simulator capture.

5Pitch deck

Five slides is enough. One sentence each:

• What it is
• Who it is for
• The Seeker-native bit (MWA, Seed Vault, Genesis Token, SKR — only what you actually built)
• Why they come back (stickiness)
• Status: APK + repo + what ships next

Export PDF. Do not claim affiliation with Solana Mobile, Radiants, or the Foundation.

6Where to submit

Go to solanamobile.radiant.nexus. Skip the intro, open the Terminal, sign in on Align, complete your builder profile, register for CLOCK IN, then fill the submission. You can keep it in draft and edit until you sign the final submission agreement. After that, it is locked. No late entries after 12 Oct 13:59 GMT+2.

If the form is missing or stuck, ask in the Radiants Discord. Tag @Maroo and @Nixen as text in the CLOCK IN channel, not as a DM spam blast.

Submit as soon as the four artifacts install and play. Do not wait for the last hour on the 12th.
