# **The Accelerated Intelligence Project** **-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** ### ***UPDATE: Results coming the week of September 22.*** Results will be posted to [https://x.com/Sei_FND](https://x.com/Sei_FND) and we will reach out to winners after the announcement. **-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** ### ***Where AI agents go from smart to sovereign*** **Build the future of onchain autonomous intelligence at machine speed on Sei.** Up to **$1M in funding** • Live virtual VC pitch • The Agent era begins **now** --- # **The Opportunity** The AI economy is evolving rapidly, from simple tools to intelligent agents to fully autonomous agent networks. These networks represent the next frontier: AI systems that can coordinate complex interactions, manage resources, and exchange value independently at machine speed, and the Sei Network's sub-400ms finality and high-performance infrastructure make this possible. With up to $1M in prizes and grants across 5 tracks, It’s time to accelerate this evolution. Join the ai/accelathon and help architect the future of autonomous onchain intelligence. The ai/accelathon is powered by the Sei Development Foundation, [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/), [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/), [Crossmint](https://www.crossmint.com/), [Dynamic](https://www.dynamic.xyz/), [Faction VC](https://www.faction.vc/), [Manifold](https://manifold.xyz/), [Hello Moon](https://www.hellomoon.io/), and [Yei Finance](https://www.yei.finance/), and enabled by [AIDN](https://aidn.fun/), [Cambrian](https://www.cambrian.wtf/), and the Sei Network. --- # Rules Participants must submit their project under one of the five official tracks listed below. Submissions will be evaluated against the judging criteria **within their track**, and one winner and one runner up per track will be selected. ### ***Projects built exclusively on Sei will be given a priority weighting for voting.*** ## **Requirements** 1. All projects must integrate with the Sei Network and submit a **Sei native** product or contribution  2. All projects must have an active X account 3. All projects must submit a video demo and an explanation of how they have integrated with the Sei Network. Each submission must include: - A public GitHub repository - A description of what you built on Sei specifically for this hackathon - A description of how the submission addresses the goals of the selected track - A social account for your project - A recorded demo of the tool or platform - Any relevant links to your project ### ***Grand Prize (picked from best overall submission within these tracks) - $75k*** **Additional Prizes to be distributed as well.** --- # **Competition Tracks** *Submit under one track.* ### **DeFi and Payments Track - Powered by Yei Finance- $60k** - Build next-generation applications that enhance decentralized finance protocols and payment systems through intelligent automation and improved user experiences. - **Example Builds:** - Defi Agents - Research, analytics, portfolio management - Payments agents - B2B Payments, Agent-to-Agent Payments, P2P Payments, Agent-to-API(x402) ### **Consumer Agents Track - Powered by AIDN - $60k** - Build AI agents that bring blockchain capabilities to mainstream consumer platforms - **Example Builds:** - Social agents - Telegram, Discord, X, LinkedIn - Artist agents - Music agents, film agents, photography agents, meme agents - Gaming agents - In-game NPC agents, competitive gaming agents - Available tools for this track: - AIDN: Fill out [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeM0D9zmGN1wUum4n4K3qT3IPimfuVQK2a5UwxiDUFmDdOGvA/viewform?usp=header) for closed beta access. - ElizaOS: use the GitHub repo [here](https://github.com/elizaos-plugins/plugin-sei). ### **Tooling and Infra** Track - **$75k** - Build the foundational tools and infrastructure that will power the next wave of AI agent development on Sei. - **Example Builds:** - MCP Server tools - Improvements, new features - Vibe-coding platforms and tools - No-code app launchers, smart contract copilots - Agentic wallets - Autonomous onchain action enablement ### **Frontier Technology - $50k** - Push the boundaries of what's possible when AI agents interact with the physical world and scientific research. - **Example Builds:** - Desci agents - Research Bounty Agents, IP Tokenization Agents - Robotics (real world agents) - Autonomous Payment Robots, Robot-to-Robot Marketplaces - DePin products that interact with Sei’s AI ecosystem - Compute Resource Brokers, Bandwidth Marketplace Agents ### **The Unexpected___ - $30k** - Surprise us with AI use cases we never imagined, applications that make us rethink what's possible when intelligence meets blockchain. ## **MCPU Bonus Bounty - $15K** ### For University Students - Use the Sei MCP Kit to develop a mini App through Claude or Cursor or other, that provides a useful, Sei-integrated tool to anyone in the ecosystem. - Make a tool that: - Watches specific wallets and analyzes their behavior - Observes the inflows and outflows of a meme coin - Tracks an nft’s lifetime movement - or anything you can think of - One university winner will take home a $10k reward, and 5 university submissions will receive $1k each. - Must prove university enrollment with valid, up-to-date school ID or other proof in a recorded video with your face visible. - MUST INCLUDE UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT PROOF VIDEO IN YOUR SUBMISSION, AS A GOOGLE DRIVE LINK. - Apply for this track if your build is only for the MCP bounty. If it is relevant to another track, you may still select that track AND the MCP bounty. --- # Toolkits All projects must integrate with **Sei** and can use the following tools to make integration easier: - [Hive Intelligence](https://dashboard.hiveintelligence.xyz/) - [Cambrian](https://www.cambrian.wtf/) - [AIDN](https://aidn.fun) (must request closed beta access [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeM0D9zmGN1wUum4n4K3qT3IPimfuVQK2a5UwxiDUFmDdOGvA/viewform?usp=dialog)) - [Sei MCP](https://github.com/sei-protocol/sei-mcp-server) - [Crossmint GOAT SDK](https://github.com/goat-sdk/goat) - [ElizaOS](https://github.com/elizaos-plugins/plugin-sei) - [Cookie.fun](https://cookie.fun) - [Rivalz Oracles](https://x.com/Rivalz_AI) Please join our Telegram channel to ask any specific questions around this hackathon: [https://t.me/+qrwumRQV9-A0NWVh](https://t.me/+qrwumRQV9-A0NWVh) Want to talk through anything with our Sei Knowledge AI Bot?
