About the Hackathon
# Introduction
AI isn't just evolving, it's taking over. In software, blockchain, and everyday life, AI isn’t a sidekick anymore. It’s the one making the calls. Autonomous agents are doing financial transactions, optimizing systems, and making real-time decisions at a scale and speed humans can barely match anymore.
And it’s happening right now – strikingly in Web3. AI is already launching tokens, creating markets and managing liquidity in real time without human intervention. The game has changed.
Now, we’re taking it further with the AI MegaWave Hackathon.
