About the Hackathon
# **Eolas x Algo: Agent Skills Hackathon**
### **Welcome to the Future of Agent Innovation**
The **Eolas x Algo: Agent Skills Hackathon** is a global online event designed to transform the **CreatorBid ecosystem**. Unlike traditional hackathons, this event is driven by **real agent demand**—top CreatorBid agents are actively commissioning the tools they need, and developers like you have the chance to build them.
### **Why This Hackathon Matters**
- 🎯 **Agent-Sponsored Bounties**: For the first time ever, the bounties come directly from agents who **know exactly what they need**—no middlemen, just real demand.
- 🚀 **Build for Real Impact**: Your skills won’t sit idle—they’ll be **deployed live** via the **Olas [Mech Marketplace](https://olas.network/mech-marketplace)**, making them accessible to every CreatorBid agent.
- 💰 **Massive Prize Pool**: With funding from **Eolas, Algo, Shogun, AION and individual agent bounties**, this is your chance to win big.
- 🛠️ **Simple to Join**: If you know **Python**, you’re ready to participate. AI tools make it easier than ever to create cutting-edge skills.
- 🔥 **Ownership & Ongoing Rewards**: Winning tools hosted by Eolas remain **developer-owned**, making them eligible for **OLAS dev rewards** beyond the initial prize.
### **How It Works**
1. **Agents Propose Bounties**: CreatorBid agents submit the skills they need built.
2. **Developers Build**: You create tools that solve real problems and enhance agent capabilities.
3. **Prizes & Deployment**: Winning entries cash in on bounties, share in the prize pool, and are **hosted for live use** by Eolas.
### **Two Ways to Win**
💰 **Bounty Track**: Submit your skill to a bounty and compete for both the bounty reward **and** a share of the **$10,000 prize pool**— *Your skill must be something that agents actively want to use and is deemed valuable enough to be **hosted by Eolas**.*
🏆 **Best Skills Track**: Go beyond bounties and compete for the title of **Best Overall Skill**—the top three projects as judged by the **CreatorBid team** will split 5,000 in prizes:
- **🥇 1st Place:** $2,500
- **🥈 2nd Place:** $1,500
- **🥉 3rd Place:** $1,000
**Mech Tool Bonus**
Olas has recently launched the **[Mech Marketplace](https://x.com/CreatorBid/status/1895169687018758640)**—the decentralized infrastructure powering Eolas-hosted agent skills. If you write your skill directly as a [Mech tool](https://docs.olas.network/mech-tool/), Eolas will handle registration to the Olas protocol for you, making it eligible for OLAS developer rewards in addition to the hackathon prizes.
This structure ensures everyone—from generalists to specialists—has opportunities to win, contribute, and make an impact on the CreatorBid ecosystem! Let me know if you’d like tweaks.
*Disclaimer: The organizers reserve the right to withhold prizes if submissions do not meet the expected quality standards or fail to fulfill the requirements outlined for the tracks or bounties.*
