    • Note for skipping progress review: You don’t have to request permission to skip progress reviews, but it would be better if you notify me in advance. If you want to make up for the missed progress review, we can try to schedule one if other teams skip their slots. Otherwise, you will need to wait for your next turn.

TLDR:

  • We will do an IPFS-like blockchain project.
  • The grading is entirely subjective, based on your contribution, and reviews from TA and your peers.
  • Typescript (frontend) and Rust (backend).
  • AI is encouraged, use it as much as you can.
