Build AI agents that move value autonomously on Hedera. The agentic economy needs payment infrastructure that works at machine speed: sub-second finality, predictable sub-cent fees, and native token operations without smart contract overhead. Hedera is built for this.

Use the Hedera Agent Kit, OpenClaw's Agent Commerce Protocol, the x402 payment standard, or any combination of agentic tooling to build agents that discover services, negotiate terms, and settle payments on Hedera. Whether it's micropayment streaming, agent-to-agent commerce, or autonomous DeFi, the best projects will demonstrate real payment flows between agents or between agents and services.

Build a tokenization application using the Hedera Token Service (HTS). Hedera's native token service lets you create, configure, and manage tokens at the protocol level with built-in compliance controls, custom fee schedules, and atomic operations, no smart contract required.

This bounty is focused on real-world asset tokenization: securities, real estate fractions, invoices, carbon credits, commodities, fund shares, or any asset class where on-chain representation unlocks liquidity, transparency, or automation. Projects that demonstrate a clear path from physical asset to on-chain token with meaningful compliance or lifecycle management will be favoured.

Ideas to get you started: Tokenized Fund Shares — Create a fund token with KYC-gated transfers and automated dividend distributions via custom fees. Invoice Factoring — Tokenize invoices as HTS tokens, allow buyers to purchase them at a discount, and settle on maturity via Scheduled Transactions. Carbon Credit Registry — Mint carbon credits as HTS tokens with provenance tracked on HCS and retirement enforced by burning. Fractionalized Real Estate — Tokenize property ownership with royalty fees that distribute rental income to holders on every transfer. Commodity Receipts — Issue warehouse receipts as HTS tokens backed by oracle-verified commodity prices.

Build a working application on Hedera using only the Hedera SDK. No Solidity, no smart contracts. Use native Hedera services directly: create tokens, post messages to the Consensus Service, schedule transactions, manage accounts, or combine multiple services into something new.

This bounty is designed for developers who are new to Hedera or new to blockchain. Hedera's SDK lets you do things that typically require smart contracts on other chains: create fungible and non-fungible tokens, set up custom fee schedules, schedule future transactions, and publish verifiable messages, all with a few lines of JavaScript or Python.

Ideas to get you started: Timestamped Proof System — Use HCS to create verifiable timestamps for documents, media, or events. Mint an HTS token as a receipt for each proof. Token-Gated Access — Mint HTS tokens that grant access to a service, event, or community. Check balances via Mirror Node to authorize users. Scheduled Payment Bot — Automate recurring HBAR or token payments using Scheduled Transactions. Build a simple UI to configure payment schedules. Supply Chain Tracker — Log product journey events to HCS and issue HTS tokens as certificates at each checkpoint. Verifiable Messaging — Build a chat or notification system where all messages are logged to HCS for tamper-proof, auditable history.

Build a production-ready automation platform that lets users schedule, approve, and execute on-chain actions using the Hedera Schedule Service, with no bots, keepers, or off-chain cron infrastructure. Most chains lean on centralized keepers or off-chain schedulers to fire future transactions. Hedera makes scheduling a native primitive: submit a transaction, collect the signatures it needs, and let the network execute it when the conditions are met.

This bounty is focused on real-world automation workflows: payroll for contributors, treasury actions gated by governance approval, recurring subscription payments, or time-locked protocol upgrades. Think in terms of users and workflows, not just transactions. The strongest projects will feel like something a DAO, finance team, protocol operator, or business could adopt tomorrow.
