This isn't a bootcamp for beginners — it's a high-bar, low-ego program designed for:
- AI Agent & Ethereum Developers: Expanding Ethereum's capabilities into decentralized AI
- AI/ML Engineers & Researchers: Building trustless, verifiable, and autonomous AI agents
- Web3 Product Managers: Exploring next-gen AI × ETH dApps and A2A architectures, as well as x402
- AI Startups: Share projects and insights with the community and foundations — and connect with peers
- Motivated Learners: Dive into the frontier of AI × ETH
If you’re ready to:
- Dive into ERC-8004, x402 and build MVPs around it.
- Turn ideas into working code using the latest Ethereum features.
- Have fun and create something cool.
This hackathon is for you.
- The greatest reward is the knowledge you gain — and the chance to meet like-minded builders through their shared notes.
- Outstanding builders may be invited to demo on stage at Devconnect Trustless Agent Day on Nov 21.
- More benefits will be announced with partners!
- ERC-8004 Trustless Agents Example: GitHub Repository
- x402-starter-kit: Github Repository
- Arena SDK: With 8004 identities + A2A + ChaosChain integration for receipt logged on-chain and payment released on verification. GitHub Repository
Welcome to propose more ideas and examples!
ERC-8004 addresses key limitations of traditional AI agent systems while preserving their core strength: enabling trustless, verifiable, and economically autonomous AI agents.
Key benefits:
- ✅ Decentralized Identity (works with existing Ethereum infrastructure)
- ✅ Highly extensible (supports custom validation logic and reputation systems)
- ✅ Improved security model (avoids centralized control and single points of failure)
This isn't just a fix — it's a new design space for AI agents, dApps, security, identity, and permissions.
Now is the time to build, test, question, and innovate — hands-on, from the ground up.
