The auction is open to all - whether you're onsite at Devconnect or elsewhere around the world.

All bids are encrypted until the end of the auction. At the end of the auction, all bids are decrypted at the same time - and the highest bid is revealed.

The minimum bid is $1.

You do not need to pay fees and gas costs to submit your bid.

You may increase your highest bid by placing one or more additional bids.

The auction will end on Friday, 21 November 2025 at 12:15 PM Argentina Time (15:15 GMT).

Join us on stage at the Privacy Hub at Deconnect (La Rural - The Cave) at 12:00 PM where we will reveal the winner of the auction.

The winner is the highest bidder. If two or more bidders bid the same highest bid amount, the earliest bid is superior.

If the winner does not make full payment on the Drips for Privacy page within 48 hours, then the winner will be disqualified and the second highest bidder will be declared the new winner. All payments will need to be made via OP mainnet.

Bids are encrypted with Shutter API's threshold encryption to ensure no one, not even the organizer, can peek at the bids while encrypted.

The winner of the auction will be contacted to arrange delivery of the prizes. The prizes can be collected in-person at the Privacy Hub at Devconnect on Friday or Saturday. If the winner is off-site, the prizes can be mailed instead, but the bidder must cover the shipping cost.

All bid information (name, contact info, bid amount and Ethereum address) will be publicly visible upon decryption at the end of the auction. If you do not wish to dox yourself, please create a psudonym, generate a new email address and/or use a clean Ethereum address.
