Submit a DApp to App Mining

Only applications that integrate Blockstack authentication and that are accessible to review can participate in application mining (App Mining).

To submit an application for App Mining, you select App Mining from the App.co menu and then select the Submit your app for qualification button. Blockstack sample applications that you create from our tutorials such as this one don't qualify for application mining.

Your submission is evaluated internally to check if it passes the basic requirements. After it passes, we accept the app and contact you to submit additional materials.
