Solana Launches $185K AI Hackathon for Developers Worldwide

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for recognizing promising opportunities, I find the Solana AI Hackathon to be an intriguing prospect. With my extensive background in both blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, I’m eagerly anticipating the innovative solutions that will emerge from this event.

The initial AI hackathon by Solana has been launched, with a focus on introducing advanced artificial intelligence applications onto its high-speed blockchain platform. This global event offers over $185,000 in cash rewards for developers and innovators to design leading-edge AI agents using the Solana network.

At this hackathon, sponsored by Send AI, there are six separate categories with different tasks for participants to tackle. The primary category, supported by ai16z and the Solana Foundation, is centered on creating the top-tier AI agent product. The first, second, and third-place winners in this area will receive $30,000, $20,000, and $10,000 respectively.

A thrilling competition sponsored by Kuzco is focusing on developing advanced infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents. Contestants will strive to design the future platform for AI agents using Solana, with rewards of $15,000, $7,500, and $5,000 for the top submissions.

Additional tracks include:

  • DeFi Agents by Adrena Protocol, focusing on agents that interact with and manage positions across Solana DeFi protocols.
  • Agent Token Tooling by Meteora, which challenges developers to create tools for AI agents to manage token liquidity and launch projects.
  • Trading Agents by Paladin, aimed at creating AI agents for spot trading.
  • Autonomous Chat Agents by Assisterr, focusing on building AI-driven chat agents.

The hackathon is open for solo developers or teams of up to five people, with submissions due by December 15. Participants will have access to expert mentoring, resources, and idea boards by Send AI, as well as opportunities for in-person pop-up events.
