💰
Community + cash. Winners get into our exclusive AI community and compete for a $3,300 total prize pool.
📣
...And eternal glory. Win any round and we'll put you and your work on the front pages of Startit's online channels.
🤝
The room is a prize. 100+ builders and a dozen judges across the series — your next cofounder, client and investor could be there.
💰
Build what sells. You'll be evaluated on how likely your product is to sell. Join to build that muscle, and the next killer app.

Be early to the biggest shift in finance since the internet. Agents that make money are taking off. The builders who show up first reap the biggest benefit.

Why now 10s of thousands agentic transactions happen every day. This is on the way to becoming millions. Early builders in the space have the most to gain.

Why on-chain Traditional finance is slow and made for humans. Blockchain is a finance system made for software — made for AI. Much of the time it's superior.

No prior knowledge needed You don't have to know anything about finance and blockchain for this hackathon. Just bring your creativity and AI skills — we'll help with the rest.

Theme for all rounds

AI agents that handle real money

Every project must feature an AI agent that autonomously handles the user's money — with little to zero human in the loop.

Round 2 theme — May 8

Passive Income Asset Agent

Build an AI agent that takes your idle assets — apartment, car, parking space, equipment, anything — and autonomously lists them, finds renters or buyers, sets prices, manages bookings, and collects payment on Solana. The agent should do this better than a human would — faster, smarter, around the clock.

🏠

Agent that lists, prices, and rents out your property.

Apartment, vacation house, garage — whatever sits empty. The agent does it better than you would: dynamic pricing, 24/7 availability, no emotional discounting.

🚗

Agent that turns your parked car or empty garage into revenue.

Your car sits idle 95% of the time. The agent finds renters, negotiates rates, manages the calendar, and gets paid — your parking space works the same way.

Agent that monetizes any underused asset you own.

Camera gear, tools, computing power, storage space, a boat — anything with idle capacity. The agent finds demand, sets the terms, and collects USDC.

Judging Criteria

5-minute pitch + 5-minute Q&A. Pitch the problem and the value, not the chain mechanics.

[>_]
Autonomous enough?

Does the agent make real decisions or is it just a deterministic workflow wrapped in an LLM?

{AI}
Impossible without AI

Could this product exist without AI at its core? The AI should be load-bearing, not decorative.

$$$
Would you give it your money?

Why would you trust this agent with money? Let us understand the value of what you've come up with.

0/1
Functioning demo

We want to see a functioning demo of your agent. For the transaction part, show us a simple, functional onchain (testnet) transaction.

FAQ

Do I need to know Solana or blockchain?

No. A general rule is that the less blockchain-native your idea feels to the user, the better you'll do. You only need to show that your agent can process transactions on a testnet so the judges can verify it could work — we'll send you a simple tutorial.

Can I participate solo?

Yes. You can come solo or with a team of up to 4. Solo participants can find teammates during the registration period at the start of each hackathon.

Do I need to attend every round?

No. Rounds 1–4 are standalone events. The top 3 from each round qualify for the finale at AI Week. You can enter as many rounds as you want — more rounds means more chances to qualify.

What happens to my IP?

Everything you build is 100% yours. No licensing, no strings, no exceptions.

How are the winners selected?

Four criteria: is the agent autonomous enough, is the product impossible without AI, would you give this agent your money, and does the on-chain payment actually work (pass/fail). 5-minute pitch followed by 5-minute Q&A with the judges.

What's the co-working prize?

Winners get membership in Startit's AI community — which comes with a physical desk in Startit's Belgrade or Novi Sad AI Hub buildings. 1st place gets 3 months, 2nd gets 2, 3rd gets 1.

How does the finale work?

The top 3 from each of the 4 rounds get invited to the finale during AI Week (May 29). The finale has a $2,500 prize pool split across the top 3, as part of the $3,300 total series prize pool. The theme is open — build any Money Agent you want.

What tools can I use?

Anything. Any AI model, any framework, any language. The only requirement is that the payment integration runs on Solana and USDC.

Can I really build something meaningful in 5 hours?

Yes. With today's AI tools, 5 hours is more than enough for a strong idea + working proof of concept — which is what we're judging. Think ahead: come in knowing what you want to build so you don't burn time on ideation. You can't bring any pre-made assets, prompts, or code — everything must be built on the day. But if you have a clear idea in your head, you can tell your agent what to build and get surprisingly far. We'll also provide a slide template so you don't waste time on presentation design.

Where and when exactly?

Round 2 is at Startit's Novi Sad AI Hub. Every edition runs from 2:30 PM to ~9 PM. Check the calendar above for specific dates and locations.
