For the best overall project that showcases how Chainlink and sponsor technologies enable a better way to power onchain finance or AI

More specifics, requirements and details on these prizes can be found on Devfolio

For projects bringing new ideas to DeFi, stablecoins and onchain finance—whether by extending existing protocols or building entirely new ones. In addition, projects that focus on the tokenization of RWAs, bringing them onchain to enable a better way to do finance.

‍

DeFi Example Ideas:

• New derivatives or perps protocol that use Data Streams,  Automation, & CCIP
• Cross-chain lending and borrowing protocol
• Multi-chain DEX
• AI-powered onchain yield optimizer
• Liquid staking protocol

‍

Tokenization Example Ideas:

• Generating tokenized carbon credits based on an offchain system of record, minting them across chains
• Tokenizing real estate based on offchain APIs
• Tokenizing game assets enabling  them to be traded & leveraged in DeFi protocols‍

For the best cross-chain projects. This track purely focuses on implementations that make sense in a multi-chain world and use CCIP and/or CCT standard to enable seamless interoperability

‍

Use cases:

• Cross-chain DeFi app with liquidity across multiple chains
• Cross-chain game where players on chain A can play players on chain B
• Cross chain liquid staking protocol

DeFi & Web3 Agent example ideas

• Automate actions based on oracles, MEV-aware optimization, liquidation alerts, or yield strategies.
• Smart key management, delegated signing, and risk-managed automated transactions.
• Use AI agents to aggregate Web2 data, simulate crowd consensus, and place predictive positions on Polymarket or similar platforms. - Swarms of agents that deliberate proposals, summarize trade-offs, and build decentralized consensus.

Productivity & operations example ideas

• Specialized LLM agents that autonomously handle daily tasks across communication, planning, and outreach.
• In-product agents that test UX, run UAT flows, or act on user-submitted intents to perform real tasks.
• Build frameworks to benchmark performance and utility of agents, across tasks or domains.

Multi-agent & orchestration example ideas

• Real-time LLM-powered arbitrage that monitor odds across multiple sportsbooks and execute value bets.
• Analyze Web2 and Web3 data streams to find market inefficiencies and execute automated trades or alerts.
• Create agents that can interpret user goals and coordinate multiple services or agents to achieve them

You can pick between these different tracks for your submission, the goal was to keep the bounty open-ended, feel free to ask us if you have any ideas and you don’t think they fall under any of these tracks. You’ll get bonus points for completing the Avalanche L1 track!

‍

Single EVM-Chain Track

For this track, the only requirement is to deploy a smart-contract based application on C-chain on the Fuji testnet or launching and deploying on your own L1. You’re free to be creative and work across any vertical (DeFi, NFTs, gaming, infra/tooling etc.)

‍

Cross-Chain dApp

The goal here is to deploy a dApp that sends data across multiple Avalanche L1s, there are 3 chains C-chain, Dispatch and Echo on Fuji Testnet where you can create chains with a relayer ready to send messages freely across them. If you’re planning to create your own L1 with custom logic, mock the functionality across these to make it easier during the hackathon.

This challenge invites builders to develop innovative projects at the intersection of AI and Web3 using Amazon Bedrock, AWS’s fully managed service for building generative AI applications. Access leading foundation models (FMs) for your use case through a single API, customize them privately using techniques like fine-tuning and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and build autonomous agents with Amazon Bedrock Agents. Amazon Bedrock is also integrated with ElizaOS, enabling developers to use it as the inference engine for ElizaOS agents.
‍

Example projects:

Investor agent: Use historical on-chain data available from the AWS Public Blockchain Data program to reason about historical trades and generate trade proposals.

Rebalancer agent: Use publicly available data sources (such as CoinMarketCap’s Fear & Greed Index) to rebalance assets between staked and liquid tokens.
