Chainlink
$15,000 prize pool · Presenter · 6 prizes awardedBest workflow with Chainlink CRE
$9,000$3,000 × 3 winners
Prize details
Build your first workflow with CRE! Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) is an all-in-one orchestration layer that enables developers to build institutional-grade smart contracts — data-connected, compliance-ready, privacy-preserving, and interoperable across blockchains and traditional systems. With CRE, you can connect blockchains to external APIs, enterprise systems, data sources, LLMs, or AI agents. Using the CRE SDK (available in Go and TypeScript), you’ll build Workflows — modular programs that orchestrate logic across on-chain and off-chain environments. With the CRE CLI, you can compile, simulate, and deploy these workflows to CRE, where they run on a Decentralized Oracle Network (DON) for fault-tolerant execution.
Qualifications
Requirements: ✅ Goal: Build, simulate, or deploy a CRE Workflow that’s used as an orchestration layer within your project. ✅ Your workflow should: - Integrate at least one blockchain with an external API, system, data source, LLM, or AI agent. - Demonstrate a successful simulation (via the CRE CLI) or a live deployment on the CRE network. - Be meaningfully used in your project 💡 If you show us a successfully simulated workflow execution, our team will deploy it to the live CRE network for you during the hackathon!
Connect the World with Chainlink
$6,000$2,000 × 3 winners
Prize details
Build something awesome using Chainlink! Anything that came from the Chainlink Documentation counts - using CCIP, Price Feeds, Data Streams, PoR or VRF. Note: Please use CRE instead of using Chainlink Functions or Automation. These products will be deprecated, and any project that needs this type of functionality should use CRE instead.
Qualifications
Requirements: - Each project must use a Chainlink service in some form to make a state change on a blockchain, otherwise it will not be eligible for the Chainlink core prizes. This means that a front end simply reading from Chainlink Data Feeds doesn't count. Using Chainlink inside your smart contracts is required. - While all project submissions are evaluated holistically, there will be bonus points given to projects that use multiple Chainlink services in a meaningful way. - Please let us know how you use Chainlink in the project description.

Prize details
Ethereum is not just a blockchain; it is the most open coordination protocol ever built. It enables anyone, whether human or machine, to participate in shared rules, value exchange, and governance without requiring permission. Your challenge is to build the missing infrastructure, tools, or mechanisms that make Ethereum a natural environment for agents. Not just agents using Ethereum, but agents that belong on Ethereum—able to transact, reason, coordinate, and collaborate. Ask yourself: - What would make an autonomous agent choose Ethereum as its operating ground? - How can Ethereum’s openness, composability, and credible neutrality become useful primitives for agentic systems? - And, inversely, where can AI be genuinely useful to the human Ethereum community? How might agents augment governance, collective research, public goods, or community coordination? We’re interested in the connective tissue: the foundations that allow agents and humans to coordinate effectively, transparently, and trustlessly. Possible Directions: - Agent Coordination Primitives - Economic Infrastructure for Agents - Governance Augmentation - Bridging Cognition and Consensus - Collective Missions
Qualifications
Requirements: - Your project must explore autonomous or semi-autonomous coordination via Ethereum, not just basic contract calls. - Include at least one component demonstrating agentic reasoning, decision-making, or cooperation. - Provide a short write-up or demo video explaining both why Ethereum matters and how the agentic aspect functions. - Strong entries will demonstrate an understanding of how to attract agents, including what problem they’d solve, what value they’d gain, and why Ethereum is the right foundation. Judging Criteria: - Visionary Potential - Originality - Coherence - Execution - Go-to-Market for Agents - Composability
AgentArena: Build the Next Generation of Security Agents
$3,000- N
SwarmSecurity$3,000
Prize details
AI is transforming the battlefield of smart contract security. As vibe coding accelerates and more unaudited protocols rush to deployment, vulnerabilities are slipping through human review processes. At the same time, AI-driven attackers are getting faster, smarter, and more adaptive; therefore, the defenders must evolve too. AgentArena is where that evolution takes place — a competitive platform where AI security agents battle-test smart contracts to uncover vulnerabilities before they fall prey to hackers. Each agent acts independently, scanning, reasoning, and reporting vulnerabilities for bounties. This hackathon invites agent builders, AI researchers, and security engineers to build new agents that will join the swarm competing in AgentArena. Your mission: create the most capable, creative, and effective autonomous agent for vulnerability discovery. Your Challenge: - Build a new security agent using our Agent Template - Design your own strategy — whether it’s reasoning-driven, model-assisted, heuristic-based, or something entirely new. - Optimize for insight, depth, and originality in how your agent identifies vulnerabilities. - Compete for a $3,000 grand prize and a place in the next generation of autonomous code security. Even if you don’t win the prize, all submitted agents can continue to evolve and participate in future AgentArena competitions, earning bounties for every valid exploit they uncover.
Qualifications
Your agent will be evaluated on: 1. Strategy & Creativity - How original and effective is your approach to vulnerability detection? - Does your agent demonstrate a clear reasoning process or novel search strategy? 2. Performance in Test Runs - Quality and relevance of the vulnerabilities identified in our test repositories. - Depth of analysis and ability to surface meaningful security insights. 3. Code Quality - Clean structure, clarity, and readability of your implementation.
Building Verifiable Agents with the Triple-Verified Stack
$2,5001st $2,500
Prize details
The age of autonomous agents is here, but it runs on a massive trust deficit. How do you prove an AI agent did what it was supposed to do, and nothing more? ChaosChain is the accountability protocol for the agentic economy. We're building the open-source infrastructure to make AI agents trustworthy by design. We invite you to build on our Triple-Verified Stack, a framework for end-to-end verifiable agent workflows: 1. Intent Verification: Proof that a human authorized an action. 2. Process Integrity: Proof that the correct code was executed (leveraging TEEs like EigenCompute or just a hash of the code). 3. Outcome Adjudication/Accountability: On-chain consensus that the result was valuable and correct. Built on open standards like AP2, x402 and ERC-8004, ChaosChain turns trust into a programmable primitive. Your challenge is to utilize our SDKs to develop an application or service that leverages one or more verifiable AI agents. Show us what's possible when you can cryptographically prove an agent's identity, actions, and results. What can you build with this? * Verifiable Risk Oracles for DeFi * Autonomous E-commerce Agents that handle payments * Decentralized service marketplaces * Auditable scientific research agents * Autonomous DAO Manager * Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) Agen The possibilities are endless when trust is a primitive.
Qualifications
Qualifications: 1. Use the ChaosChain SDK (Python or TypeScript) as a core component of your stack. 2. Implement x402 payment flow (verify + settle), via our hosted facilitator (embedded in our sdk). 3. Show at least one verifiability link in the chain (preferably more): - AP2-signed intent, and/or - Process integrity artifact (hash/attestation/log), and - Outcome anchoring with ERC-8004 (proof/claim/registry write or mock if testnet). 4. Submit a 2–3 min demo video + public GitHub with setup instructions. Judging Criteria: 1. End-to-end verifiability: clear mapping of Intent (AP2) → Process integrity → Outcome adjudication (ERC-8004). 2. Correct x402 integration: proper 402 flow, verify/settle, real (or testnet) payments. 3. Utility & UX: solves a real agentic use case; smooth DX for other builders. 4. Technical depth: thoughtful architecture, clean code, receipts/links to proofs. 5. Presentation: concise video, readable README, reproducible demo.
AuditAgent: Find, Fix, and Fortify
$500Prize details
Smart contract security remains one of the toughest challenges in Web3 — and the gap is widening. As AI accelerates code generation and vibe coding pushes unaudited contracts to the Ethereum mainnet, vulnerabilities are slipping through faster than review processes or traditional audits can catch them. AuditAgent fights fire with fire. It’s an AI-powered pre-auditing solution that uses large language models to analyze smart contract source code, documentation, and specifications — detecting vulnerabilities, inconsistencies, and logic flaws before deployment. In this challenge, you’ll put AuditAgent to the test: Run it on your own smart contracts, identify a major vulnerability, and fix it. Your mission: demonstrate how AI-driven auditing can make your contracts safer and your development process more secure. Your Challenge: 1. Run AuditAgent on one or more of your smart contracts. 2. Use its analysis to identify a genuine vulnerability or logical issue. 3. Fix the issue and submit your before/after code along with a brief summary of what you found. The goal is to showcase real impact — using AI to strengthen your code.
Qualifications
Prize of $500 — awarded to the best submission demonstrating: - A real, meaningful vulnerability identified and resolved using AuditAgent. - A high-quality fix that effectively addresses the issue. Judging Criteria: 1. Impact of the Discovery - Significance and severity of the vulnerability found. 2. Use of AuditAgent - How effectively the tool was leveraged to identify and address the issue. 3. Quality of the Fix - How well the patch resolves the problem and improves contract safety.

$10,000 prize pool · Gold · 4 prizes awardedMost Strategically Valuable Integration
$5,000- AD
TrustMeBro$5,000
Prize details
Using VisualSign the project must integrate with one of the "Top-Tier" protocols (example provided below). The prize will go to the top three teams with the best and most strategic use of VisualSign. This prize is not for the "coolest" or "most creative" hack, but is a targeted bounty to manufacture a high-quality, high-prestige case study. Please read the qualification requirements carefully.
Qualifications
This $5,000 prize effectively commissions the creation of a "killer feature" demo. The winning project will be the tangible proof-of-concept shown to other wallets and dApps, demonstrating that VisualSign can successfully render complex, high-value transactions on a real-world target. Evaluation will be based on the complexity of the transactions parsed. A parser for a simple swap is far less valuable than one that clearly renders complex, multi-step interactions such as stake, borrow, delegate, or create_pool. Top tier protocols to integrate with: Aave, Curve Finance, EigenLayer, Ethena, Ether.Fi, Lido, SparkLend, Uniswap. If there is a specific project that you work with and can see VisualSign integrated with in a strategically valuable way please use that!

Prize details
Citrea opens the door to an entirely new class of Bitcoin powered experiments. Some brilliant, some chaotic, some beautifully unhinged. The Best Degen Bapp track is for the builders who think outside the box, break assumptions, push boundaries, and ship the kind of ideas that make people say: “Wait… you built what on Bitcoin?” This track looks for creativity in its rawest form, whether your project looks impractical, shockingly clever, or something so new that it breaks normal categories. If it makes us laugh, mock, or rethink what Bitcoin applications can be, you're in the right place. We can't actually give examples for this category but here are few we could think of: Bitcoin native social experiments: Chaotic coordination games, on-chain memes with mechanics, self destroying apps for privacy (somehow). Game-Fi but Bitcoinized: Mine to Mint apps, Burn to mint puzzles, proof of vibes systems, mining inspired game mechanics. Useless but brilliant tools: Anything that feels like why we need crypto for this but is actually genius. Weird primitives: Be creative. Look for mechanisms no one asked for but everyone suddenly needs. “Why not?” apps: If it breaks regular models, that’s the energy we look for. Look for daily apps and how to enable them Bapps. If your project fits nowhere else, it probably belongs here. Building for this track does not prevent you from also applying to the Innovation track. Let chaos inspire you.

$5,000 prize pool · Ruby · 3 prizes awardedIdentity Infrastructure
$2,000- A
Aztec Semaphore$2,000
Prize details
Only with native privacy can identity infrastructure work on-chain, because sensitive information simply cannot be exposed. Build on Aztec to create identity systems where people host credentials, attestations, or identity data that they can leverage across applications, whether on Aztec itself or composed cross-chain. This could be credential systems, DID infrastructure, verification mechanisms, aggregated attestations from multiple sources (like combining OpenBanking.nr and ZKPassport), or novel ways to prove facts about yourself without exposing everything.
Qualifications
• Must use Aztec Devnet's latest version • Must either compose in novel ways with existing identity applications like ZKPassport or create new ways of proving facts about yourself (attesting) • Must clearly demonstrate how Aztec's privacy layer becomes the identity infrastructure (not just use Aztec as an additional chain) • Identity data and control must remain with the user, not dependent on a centralized authority - Submission must include documentation or demo showing how end users would interact with and manage their identity

$1,000Prize details
Privacy unlocks a design space we haven't fully explored yet. We know there are applications that become possible with native privacy that we haven't seen before. Build the thing that makes us say 'oh wow, that's why privacy matters.' This could be gaming mechanics, governance systems, DeFi patterns we haven't seen, confidential business logic, or something we haven't thought of. The constraint is: it should only be possible because Aztec has native privacy.
Qualifications
• Must use Aztec Devnet's latest version • Must clearly demonstrate how this application can only exist due to Aztec's privacy layer (not just use Aztec as an additional chain) • Must include clear documentation explaining why this application requires native privacy and how Aztec's specific capabilities enable it • Should demonstrate a testable implementation or working prototype (not just concept/wireframes)
