Submit your project
Anyone can put a project forward. Submitting is free, needs no wallet, and takes a couple of minutes.
Open voting.l2protocol.com and press Submit project, or go straight to /submit.
Before you start
Have these ready, because the form is quicker than going away to find them:
- the project name and its ticker
- a short description of what the project is and why it needs a chain of its own
- a logo on a public URL
- the links you want shown: website, X, Telegram, Discord
- which chain the project lives on today
The form
Project holds the three required fields.
| Field | Rules |
|---|---|
| Project name | Required, up to 128 characters |
| Ticker | Required, up to 16 characters, letters and digits only, no spaces or symbols |
| Description | Required, up to 2000 characters |
| Current chain | Optional, chosen from the list. Pick Other if yours is not there |
Links and media are all optional, and all have to be complete addresses starting with https://. A logo that is a link to a page rather than to an image file will not display, so point it straight at the image.
Nothing here needs a wallet. If you happen to have one connected it is recorded with the submission, which makes it easier to recognise you later, but leaving it disconnected changes nothing about the entry.
Submitting
Press Submit for review. The site checks quietly that you are not a script, which takes a second, and then confirms that the project has been submitted and is pending review.
What happens next
A person reads it. Submissions are reviewed by the team before they go anywhere. Nothing appears on the leaderboard automatically.
Approved entries join the board and can be voted for from that moment, starting at zero like everyone else.
Rejected entries do not appear. Review is there to keep impersonations, empty entries and abuse off the board.
Until your entry is approved it is not visible and cannot be voted for, so there is no point sending people to look for it yet.
Writing an entry that does well
The description is the only thing most voters will read, and they read it while deciding whether to spend today's vote on you. Three things earn that vote.
Say what the project is in the first sentence, as though the reader has never heard of it. Most have not.
Say what the chain would let you build. A project that cannot run smart contracts today has a concrete list: staking, lending, governance, an NFT drop, whatever it is. That list is the actual argument.
Say who is already there. A community that shows up is the thing this vote measures, so mention where it lives and how big it is.
Skip the price talk. Nobody votes for a chain because a coin might go up.
After you are approved
Winning is a turnout contest, and turnout does not organise itself.
Every supporter gets one free vote per day, which means one reminder per day is worth sending. Tell them plainly what it costs, because "connect a wallet and sign" sounds expensive to people who have only ever been asked to connect a wallet by scammers: it costs nothing, moves nothing and needs no coins.
Point them at Cast your vote if they are unsure. One person who understands what they are signing votes every day for a month; one who does not, votes once.
