# Introduction Hosted by **IQAI**, **OpenMind**, and **EwhaChain**, the **AGENT ARENA – AI Agent Hackathon** invites university builders across the globe to create innovative **on-chain AI agents**. This is a **worldwide**, fully virtual, 1-month hackathon open to students from any university and recent graduates. Participants may build using: - **IQAI’s ADK-TS** (Agent Development Kit – TypeScript), or - **OpenMind’s OM1** platform All agents must be launched on **IQAI’s Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP)** after the event to qualify for prizes. This hackathon is proudly sponsored by **Frax Finance**, a leader in stablecoin technology, and **KRWQ**, the first digital Korean Won. Judging will be conducted by senior developers and industry experts. # Timeline **Total Duration:** 4 Weeks - **Launch & Registration Opens:** Monday, November 10, 2025 - **Submission Deadline / Hackathon Close:** Tuesday, December 9, 2025 - **ATP Launch Deadline (Required for Judging):** Sunday, December 14, 2025 - **Winners Announced:** Monday, December 22, 2025 # Prizes Multiple submissions allowed.

To qualify: - You must be a **current university student** or a **recent graduate (within 3 years).** - Solo participants and teams of **1–3 members** are allowed. - All projects must be **built from scratch** during the hackathon; submissions using pre-existing projects will be disqualified. - Multiple submissions are allowed, but only **one agent per team** will have ATP launch fees sponsored. - All valid submissions must be **launched on ATP after the hackathon deadline** to be eligible for prizes. - Prizes are paid in **stablecoins (USDC/USDT)** — winners must provide a valid wallet address. - Valid proof of enrollment or graduation is required to claim prizes. - Entries without valid student verification are not eligible for prizes (though they may still be considered for investment). # Submission Requirements Participants must submit their project under one of the official hackathon tracks. Submissions will be evaluated against the judging criteria within their track. 3 overall winners will be chosen, along with 1 MVP per track. Each submission must include: - **Public GitHub repository** with full source code - **Demo video (max 5 minutes)** clearly showing how the agent works - Explanation of **how you used ADK-TS or OM1** specifically for this hackathon - A **live demo link** so judges can test the agent - Any additional relevant links (documentation, mockups, etc.) Late submissions will not be accepted. ## Launching Your Agent on ATP After submitting your build, all teams with **successful submissions** will receive an **IQ airdrop** to cover the costs of hosting and launching their agent on IQAI’s Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). To remain eligible for judging and prizes, your agent **must be launched on ATP by December 12, 2025** (three days after the submission deadline). Your final ATP agent link must be included in your submission or added before the ATP launch deadline. # Useful Resources ### **Communication & Support** - GitHub Discussion: [https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts/discussions/](https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts/discussions/) - Discord Channel: [https://discord.gg/UbQaZkznwr](https://discord.gg/UbQaZkznwr) - YouTube Channel: [https://www.youtube.com/@iqtoken](https://www.youtube.com/@iqtoken) **ADK-TS (Agent Development Kit for TypeScript)** - ADK-TS GitHub Repo: [https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts](https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts) - ADK-TS Docs: [https://adk.iqai.com/](https://adk.iqai.com/) - ADK-TS Project Samples: [https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts-samples](https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts-samples) - ADK-TS Starter Templates: [https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts/tree/main/apps/starter-templates](https://github.com/IQAIcom/adk-ts/tree/main/apps/starter-templates) - ADK-TS Intro Playlist: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAohU1RSbOGWsYlQAiQKUQ9AktdlPbfp7](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAohU1RSbOGWsYlQAiQKUQ9AktdlPbfp7) - Previous Workshops: [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAohU1RSbOGXm4aoA7XNkXN9JDHDT_nqP&si=pGJCdGvfCBmek7p6](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAohU1RSbOGXm4aoA7XNkXN9JDHDT_nqP&si=pGJCdGvfCBmek7p6) **ATP** **(Agent Tokenization Platform)** - Official Website: [https://iqai.com/](https://iqai.com/) - Launching Tokenized Agent on ATP: [https://learn.iq.wiki/iq/iq/agent-tokenization-platform-atp/launching-tokenized-agent-on-atp](https://learn.iq.wiki/iq/iq/agent-tokenization-platform-atp/launching-tokenized-agent-on-atp) ### **OpenMind** - GitHub (OM1): [https://openmind.org](https://openmind.org) - Docs: [https://docs.openmind.org/api-reference/introduction](https://docs.openmind.org/api-reference/introduction) - Tutorials: [https://docs.openmind.org/examples/overview](https://docs.openmind.org/examples/overview) All participants are encouraged to join the **Discord server** for updates, support, and announcements.
