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.

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.

AI Week Finale — May 29

Build Any Agent That Makes Money

No theme. No constraints. Rent out idle assets, acquire clients, validate ideas, trade, arbitrage — whatever you want. The only rule is that your agent handles real money autonomously. Open season.

🏆

$2,500 prize pool. The biggest round of the series.

Top 3 from each of the previous four rounds are invited, plus a few wild cards. This is an invite-only event.

🔓

Open theme. Build whatever makes money.

Previous rounds explored passive income, marketing, and idea validation. The finale removes all guardrails. Pick any domain, any approach, any business model.

⚡

Part of AI Week Belgrade.

The finale runs during Startit's AI Week — a full week of AI events across Belgrade. You'll be building alongside the largest gathering of AI builders in the region.

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.

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.

This is the finale. Can I still join if I missed rounds 1–4?

The finale is invite-only — top 3 from each round qualify automatically. A small number of wild card spots may be available. If you're interested, apply through the form and we'll let you know.

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?

The finale is at Startit's Belgrade AI Hub on May 29. Runs from 2 PM to ~9 PM.
