@amber_ac_'s BUIDL_QUESTS 2026 Is Now Live 🔥 🚀 Building on the momentum of the OPC Hackathon opening ceremony, global competition for AI-native founders, agent builders, crypto infrastructure teams and solo builders is officially open. AI is moving beyond simple task assistance into perception, reasoning, coordination, and long-horizon execution. Agents can now operate across tools, workflows, and economic systems — enabling one founder, supported by agents, to build and operate like an entire company. Our theme this year is Autonomous Agents & Sovereignty. Builders can submit through OpenArena, build in public, climb the leaderboard, and compete across five tracks: 🔹 Autonomous Agents: Agent applications, multi-agent systems, tooling, security, and workflow automation. 🔹 Sovereignty: Identity, wallets, payments, data ownership, privacy, ZKP, TEE, and governance. 🔹 Agent Commerce: Agent marketplaces, Agent-as-a-Service, agent payments, and autonomous digital businesses. 🔹 AI Hardware & Applications: On-device AI, edge deployment, wearables, smart devices, and physical-digital agent applications. 🔹 OPC / Super Individuals: AI-native solo builders, one-person companies, and personal AI products. Here is what you can expect: 🔹 Build in Public: Share progress, gain community signal, and advance through staged review. 🔹 Ecosystem Access: Connect with mentors, judges, investors, and partners across AI and Crypto. 🔹 Global Visibility: Showcase your project to a growing network of founders and industry leaders. 🔹 Singapore Finals: The Top 10 teams will receive travel support to join Pitch Day, Demo Day, and the AI x Art x Sustainable Exhibition. 🏆 Support and Awards To support exceptional teams throughout the competition, BUIDL_QUESTS 2026 will provide more than US$400,000 in total support, distributed across all awarded teams, including cash prizes, partner credits, ecosystem resources, and travel support. 🔹 US$50,000+ initial cash prize pool 🔹 US$350,000+ in partner credits and resources 🔹 US$2,000 travel support for each Top 10 finalist team 🔹 3-month Notion Business plan for every participating builder 📅 Key Dates and Milestones August 12, 18:00 SGT: Registration closes September 11: Top 20 announced September 24: Top 10 finalists announced October 5: Pitch Day in Singapore October 6: Demo Day in Singapore The next era of AI will be shaped by builders who turn autonomous intelligence into efficient systems, sustainable companies, and new models of human-agent collaboration.
