Injective is pleased to introduce its premier AI Agent hackathon with ElizaOS and co-hosted by Dorahacks. Builders can expect over $100,000 in prizes along with tier one support from top AI Agent developers in the space.

Now is the chance to build the next generation of AI Agents and AI Agent infrastructure to power the colliding worlds of AI and blockchain. The AI Agent space is rapidly expanding, and Injective’s iAgent is at the center of this revolution. Now, developers will be able to build even more competent agents with the improved functionality of iAgent 2.0 that was released earlier today. In addition, ElizaOS, the operating system behind ai16z, will be supporting this hackathon via technical resources and as a judge.

Registration for the AI Agent hackathon is now open on DoraHack’s portal. Learn more about the hackathon and sign up today: Sign Up. The hackathon officially begins on February 4th.

What is the Injective AI Agent Hackathon?

The Injective AI Agent hackathon is a premier AI Agent event where builders and teams around the world get the opportunity to showcase their talents to build Agents and the infrastructure that powers Agents. The best builders will get a chance to compete for a prize pool of over $100,000.

During the four-week online hackathon, builders can go from idea to fully fledged Agent with mentorship from some of the top AI leaders in the space. During demo day, builders and teams will also have a chance to present their projects to a panel of judges to gather feedback. More importantly, top teams will get to showcase their projects to top-tier VCs, technologies, and financial institutions to bring their projects to the next level. Furthermore, if a project ends up receiving funding, they will get to bring their project to an actual company with talent, runway, and financial backing.

Builders can be at any stage of the development process. Whether they have a bright idea or an MVP already built, they are encouraged to participate and take full advantage of all of the mentorship and resources available for free during the length of the hackathon.

Below you’ll find more details about the schedule, various tracks, requested projects, and prizes available to all those that compete in the hackathon.
