Where Can You Build?

You can use the AMARACUS API anywhere in your stack.

Software & SaaS

Zero-trust collaborative apps, end-to-end encrypted messaging, AI platforms with confidential prompt vaults, or healthtech record protection.

Databases & Storage

Transparent envelope encryption plugins for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis, automated row-level data key generation, and encrypted cloud data lakes.

Enterprise Products

Automated post-quantum certificate lifecycle managers, BYOK key brokers, cryptographic policy enforcement daemons, and SOC 2 evidence collectors.

PQC & Lattice Systems

Quantum-safe financial ledgers, NIST FIPS 203 ML-KEM-768 hybrid key exchanges, and hardware-security-module orchestration systems.

Essential Submission Instructions

1. Transparent API Usage

Your submitted source code must genuinely call and execute the Amaracus API. The API integration must be visible and direct (REST endpoints or official SDKs) and must not be hidden, stubbed with mockups, or obfuscated.

2. Public Code Repository

Submissions must provide a direct URL to a public GitHub repository or an accessible Google Drive archive containing complete source code, environment variable guides, and architecture explanations.

3. Testable Deployment (Recommended)

Providing a live hosted website, deployed service endpoint, or downloadable app binary is strongly recommended to allow hands-on judge testing. However, it carries zero negative marking if you only provide a runnable code repository.
