Why the Bluesky Track?

• Not every project falls into DeFi, SocialFi, or Creator lanes.

• This track is meant to encourage risk-taking and creative exploration.

• If your idea is bold, unusual, or experimental, the Bluesky Track exists to give it room to breathe.

Bonus: Projects that advance sBTC adoption and integrations or align with Cohort 3’s High Impact Goals are especially welcome.
