Venue to be announced. - **Date:** November 4, 2026 - **Format:** Live project pitches and Q&A with the judging panel. - **Tracks:** 1. **AI Agent Trading** 1. Building an AI-agent-based automated trading system on decentralized exchanges (DEX：**https://app.hskswap.com/?lng=en-US**). Powered by an AI agent as its core engine, the system autonomously completes the full closed-loop workflow of market monitoring, on-chain data analysis, trading signal identification, and order execution. Without any manual intervention, it can capture trading opportunities such as arbitrage and price spreads in real time, and achieve sustained profitability under a strict risk-control and stop-loss framework. Meanwhile, the system is equipped with a natural language interaction interface, allowing users to view positions and P&L in real time and adjust trading strategies (such as position sizing, frequency, risk appetite, target assets, etc.) through conversation. This enables AI-driven automated trading and users' subjective decision-making to work in synergy, balancing trading efficiency with human controllability. 2. **Agent Payments & A2A Settlement （HSP）** 1. The topic is the use of A2A scenario combined with HSP's API interface, where the Payment Agent constructs a Payment Mandate based on the payment conditions transmitted by the receiving Agent, completes the wallet signature, and then verifies and executes the on-chain payment through the existing Gateway of HSP. 2. The interface API for HSP is this: [https://hashkey-merchant.github.io/#/](https://hashkey-merchant.github.io/#/) # Tracks & Prize Breakdown **Total Prize Pool: 10,000 USDT** **Track 1: AI Agent Trading** Prize pool: 5,000 USDT - **1st Place:** 2,500 USDT - **2nd Place:** 1,500 USDT - **3rd Place:** 1,000 USDT **Track 2: Agent Payments & A2A Settlement** Prize pool: 5,000 USDT - **1st Place:** 2,500 USDT - **2nd Place:** 1,500 USDT - **3rd Place:** 1,000 USDT We will announce the winning projects and teams on November 5, 2026, and the prize money will be distributed within 14 working days. **For winning teams：please ensure that your project is deployed on HSK Chain mainnet to claim hackathon prize.** # Submission Requirements - Open to individuals and teams worldwide. - Projects must be original and built or rebuilt during the hackathon period. - Projects should be built on HSK Chain and align with one of the hackathon tracks: AI Agent Trading or Agent Payments & A2A Settlement. - Using officially recommended products and frameworks will earn extra points. - For the Agent Payments & A2A Settlement track, please use HSP (you can find the user manual in the top navigation bar of [https://hashfans.io/](https://hashfans.io/)). - Make sure you deploy your smart contract on HSK Chain mainnet, projects that have not completed deployment will be automatically deemed to have forfeited their eligibility for demo selection. - Teams that can conduct an in-person demo in Mumbai will have priority in being selected. # Key Developer Resources & Links Take a look at here: [https://hashfans.io/dev-onepager](https://hashfans.io/dev-onepager) 1. **Developer Resources & Community:** [HashFans](https://hashfans.io/).
