Story (IP) Jumps 35% Ahead of Super Agent Hackathon

IP, the native token of Story Protocol, a blockchain project that seeks to tokenize intellectual property, has recorded massive gains despite a decline in the broader market. The surge was fueled by the project’s Super Agent Hackathon event scheduled to take place on Wednesday. 

It’s almost here: the Super Agent Hackathon is happening this Wednesday.

About the Super Agent Hackathon 

Story’s Super Agent Hackathon is a one-day physical event that seeks to empower developers to create next-level AI super agents. The event, which will be held in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday, February 26th, offers AI agent developers the opportunity to integrate with Story and win cash prizes.

Interested developers can participate by visiting Story’s Super Agent Hackathon page on Luma to register. Entrance registration closes on Wednesday by 9:00 A.M (MT). 

Submission Requirements

While there are no UI/UX design requirements, participants are expected to adhere to a few strict requirements to qualify. Participants must integrate Story smart contracts into their AI agents. 

Additionally, the AI agents must implement Story’s Agent Transaction Control Protocol for Intellectual Property (ATCP/IP). This protocol helps any agent built with any programming language to seamlessly communicate and learn from other agents

Participants can register their AI agents and their training data as intellectual property (IP), or license other agents’ data as IP. The AI agent should recognize and execute licensing and royalties commands.

Story will use the AI agent SOLENG to automatically review participants’ submissions and provide detailed feedback. Using SOLENG eliminates the time-consuming and labor-intensive task of manually reviewing hundreds of submissions. 

The platform noted that SOLENG will focus exclusively on the technical and code aspects of each submission. Thus, after the initial review, the AI agent will select the top 10 submissions based on four criteria: correctness, readability, bugginess, and features.

The top 10 finalists will then demonstrate their projects to a panel of judges. The panel comprises several industry experts who will pick the winners based on how focused their projects are on Story, their ATCP/IP integration, adoption possibilities, and technical implementation. 

Ultimately, the top three projects will receive a total of $18,000 from Story. The first place gets $15,000, the second place gets $10,000, and the third place gets $4,000. 

Over $45,000 in Partner Bounties 

In addition to Story’s bounties for the top three projects, the platform provides participants with an opportunity to increase their winnings. 

Story has partnered with several top AI infrastructure teams to offer more than $45,000 to participants. The platform noted that all properly submitted projects are eligible for both the Story bounties and the ones offered by all partner projects. 

Participants can win $3,000 by leveraging Fleek’s AI agent Eliza to experiment with decentralized apps (dApps), social media, and finance protocols. Another partner, deBridge, is offering a $3,000 bounty for integrating deBridge into AI agents.

Other partners include Ablo, AGIverse, Allora, Rig, Crossmint, EternalAI, Mira Network, MyShell, Nillion, OpenGradient, Theoriq, and many more.
