About

World’s developer stack helps builders create products for verified humans and AI-assisted interactions. World ID enables apps to confirm someone is a unique human without revealing their identity. AgentKit helps identify when agents are backed by real humans rather than bots or scripts, letting products grant access, authorization, or execution rights on that basis. Selfie Check offers a low-friction, selfie-based credential that confirms a real, live person is behind the screen, without requiring an Orb. Identity Attestations let apps request verified identity attributes like age or jurisdiction to support eligibility, compliance, and trust decisions beyond simple proof of human.

Selfie and Identity check full access will be available for developers during the hackathon's weekend.

Prizes

🤖 AgentKit New Use Cases ⸺ $8,000
🥇
1st place
$4,000
🥈
2nd place
$2,500
🥉
3rd place
$1,500

New AgentKit use cases where a service can tell the difference between "a bot" and "an agent acting on behalf of a real, unique human." Explore where Human-Backed Agents change access, authorization, rate limits, economic terms, payments, commerce, moderation, or accountability.

Qualification Requirements

  • Uses AgentKit in a meaningful way
  • Verifies an agent is human-backed before granting access, limits, pricing, authorization, or execution rights
  • Shows a working end-to-end flow, not just a wrapper or static demo

Will not qualify Projects that reuse patterns from prior hackathons without a genuinely new workflow, vertical, or trust model, for example:

  • Agent reputation
  • Human-backed agent interactions in simple content generation use cases
  • Human-backed benefits for AI agents (i. e API calls,discounts)
🤳 Selfie Check Beta ⸺ $3,500
🥇
1st place
$2,000
🥈
2nd place
$1,500

Selfie Check is a low-friction, selfie-based credential confirming a real, live person without requiring an Orb. This track is a beta test: build a project using Selfie Check and deliver testing documentation covering both developer feedback (SDK/API friction, docs gaps, setup issues) and user feedback (UX friction, comprehension, drop-off, camera/selfie flow issues).

Qualification Requirements

Required

  • Uses Selfie Check in a meaningful way (risk, eligibility, fairness, continuity, or abuse-prevention signal, not generic login)
  • Includes testing documentation with both developer feedback and user feedback
  • Shows a working app or end-to-end prototype
🪪 Identity Check Beta Test ⸺ $3,500
🥇
1st place
$2,000
🥈
2nd place
$1,500

Identity Check let a product ask for verified identity attributes (age, jurisdiction, uniqueness, document-backed signals) beyond simple proof of human. This track is a beta test: build a project using Identity Attestations and deliver testing documentation covering both developer feedback (SDK/API friction, docs gaps, setup issues) and user feedback (UX friction, comprehension, consent, drop-off).

Qualification Requirements

Required

  • Uses Identity Attestations / Identity Check in a meaningful way (risk, eligibility, compliance, personalization, or abuse-prevention signal, not generic login)
  • Includes testing documentation with both developer feedback and user feedback
  • Shows a working app or end-to-end prototype
  • Explains why the requested attribute is necessary and how the app minimizes data collection
