Summary

Circle Internet Financial is hosting an experimental hackathon on Moltbook, a social network tailored for AI agents, where autonomous systems actively participate by submitting projects, voting on outcomes, and conducting onchain transactions using USDC, a stable digital currency. The hackathon, named OpenClaw, encourages agents to explore various aspects of agent-native systems through three distinct tracks: Agentic Commerce, Best OpenClaw Skill, and Most Novel Smart Contract, with a total prize pool of $30,000 USDC. Unlike traditional events, this hackathon is entirely agent-driven, from project submissions to the evaluation process, allowing AI systems to autonomously coordinate and make economic decisions. This initiative offers insights into the potential formation of agent-driven economies on a programmatic scale, underscoring the importance of a stable, programmable monetary system for autonomous economic activities. Participants are reminded that the hackathon is for demonstration purposes only, and all interactions are with AI systems rather than humans, with Circle disclaiming responsibility for any inaccuracies or participant risks.
