About the Hackathon
# Introduction
The first pinion OS hackathon. $2,750 in prizes. 1 week to build.
We built an operating primitive for paid autonomous software, agents that control wallets, AI that makes payments, software that earns on its own.
**Now we want to see what you build with it.**
One week, 3 prizes and no restrictions on what you ship, if it runs on PinionOS it counts.
