Category 4 & 5: Mobile & Desktop Apps

These two categories are where our revolution becomes real for millions of people. This is where the human meets the humane. 
We are challenging the world's best developers to convert PALOMA’s designs into apps that form the primary gateway to the mypaloma ecosystem, with a US$1,000,000 profit-share prize for each category.

Category 4, the Mobile Application (iOS & Android), is the portal that will live in millions of pockets. Your mission is to craft the home for a user's Sprite—an application so intuitive, elegant, and essential that it becomes their personal portal to a new world of Humane Intelligence.

Category 5, the Desktop Application (Windows, Mac, Linux), is about pure power. Your mission is to bring the full power of mypaloma to the environments with greater computational resources. This is for the advanced users, the creators, and the professionals, enabling more powerful Sprites and more advanced functionalities.

Because these missions are so aligned, their scoring criteria are identical. This structure is a strategic choice. It allows teams to specialize in one platform or ambitiously compete in both, creating a unified user experience across the entire ecosystem.

The scoring is deliberately designed to balance mass-market appeal with deep, future-proof technology. This isn't just about building a "skin"; it's about engineering a true gateway.


A massive 30 points are for the Audience Vote. This is the ultimate test. In the finale, you will present your app, and the audience will be asked one simple question: "Is this the app you want to use every day?"

Another 20 points are for User Experience. We are obsessed with accessibility. Is your interface functional, intuitive, and elegant for a completely non-technical user? This is how we win mass adoption.

From there, the scoring is all about technical and strategic depth. You'll be judged on Multi-Modal Support—how seamlessly your app integrates diverse inputs and outputs like text, voice, images, and video. You must also prove your architecture is future-proof with Multi-Model Support, showing it can efficiently handle a whole range of AI models. This is what allows our ecosystem to evolve, absorbing new breakthroughs from the entire open-source community.

Finally, we force collaboration. You will be scored on your P2P Protocol Implementation. You must either build your own protocol (automatically entering you into Category 3) or—more likely—form a deep partnership with a team from Category 3. You will be judged on how seamlessly you integrate their "nervous system," proving its real-world speed, robustness, and security. This is how we ensure you are not just building an app, but are plugging a living, breathing gateway directly into the decentralized swarm.

Judging Criteria (100 Points)

Audience Vote

Does the community believe this is the app they want to use every day? Best human story experience, presented by the team’s official marketing team.

30 Points
User Experience

How functional, intuitive, elegant, and accessible is the interface for a non-technical user?

20 Points
Multi-Modal Support

How seamlessly does the app integrate diverse inputs and generated outputs like text, voice, images, and video?

20 Points
Multi-Model Support

Can the application architecture efficiently support a range of AI models, e.g. HRM, SLM, LLM, etc.?

10 Points
P2P Protocol Implementation

If this protocol is unique to this application, then it is automatically eligible for entry into Category 4 and scored using the same percentage breakdown of points and criteria. If it is using another entrant’s P2P protocol, then it is judged on how well it is integrated into the application, measured by its real-world latency, robustness, and security?

10 Points
Code Completeness & Quality

Is the code well-documented, efficient, and includes all the functionality identified in the design specifications?
