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. Mini Apps provide developers with a native distribution channel within World App. AgentKit helps identify when agents are backed by real humans rather than bots or scripts. World Chain provides the on-chain infrastructure to build, transact, and scale these experiences. ProveKit is a zk proving library, allowing someone to write their circuits in Noir and prove them.

Prizes

🌍 Track A (AgentKit) $7,500
🥇
1st place
$3,500
🥈
2nd place
$2,500
🥉
3rd place
$1,500

Apps that utilize AgentKit to deliver agentic experiences, where Delegated World ID enhances safety, fairness, or trust, especially products that unlock free trials for agents and free access to initial usage.

Qualification Requirements

  • Uses AgentKit in a meaningful way (not just a wrapper).
  • Implements a clear “trial / initial usage” mechanic (e.g., limited actions, credits, or time-based access) that is gated by verifiable humans via World ID.
  • Not only register an agent, but actually build a product that enables Human Backed Agents to operate.
🤖 Track B (World ID)$2,500
🥇
1st place
$1,500
🥈
2nd place
$1,000

Apps where the product breaks without proof of human.

Example patterns:

  • One-per-human access to limited resources (tickets, grants, allowlists)
  • Sybil-resistant voting, quadratic funding, or allocation
  • Human-only marketplaces (postings, matching, anti-spam)
  • Reputation and trust systems gated by personhood

Qualification Requirements

Uses World ID 4.0 as a real constraint (eligibility, uniqueness, fairness, reputation, rate limits). World ID justification: what breaks without it. Working application: either mini app or not. Proof validation is required and needs to occur in a web backend or smart contract.

♻️ Track C (Existing Projects integrating World ID)$2,500

This prize is only available to Continuity Track participants →

🥇
1st place
$1,500
🥈
2nd place
$1,000

Existing projects that will integrate any of our SDKs (IDKit, Minikit, Agentkit) in a meaningful way into their existing project. The winner of this category will be evaluated by:

  • How “novel” is the use case for World ID
  • Technical integration readiness

Qualification Requirements

  • Already has a working product or prototype (not a brand-new idea for the weekend).
  • Uses at least one World tool meaningfully (World ID, MiniKit, and/or AgentKit).
  • Clear plan for what will be shipped/improved during the hackathon (feature, UX, scale, security, or distribution).
🗽 Track D (ProveKit)$2,500

This prize is only available to Continuity Track participants →

🥇
1st place
$1,500
🥈
2nd place
$1,000

Teams building with ProveKit to compile and prove Noir circuits in real apps (web, mobile, services, and/or on-chain), unlocking new UX by making proofs practical to generate and verify across environments.

Example patterns:

  • On-device proving (mobile or browser) for privacy-preserving flows
  • Proof verification embedded in a Mini App/web app backend
  • On-chain verification using a recursive verifier
  • Developer tooling/pipelines that make Noir → proving → verification reproducible and fast

Qualification Requirements

  • Compile Noir circuits to R1CS
  • Generate WHIR proofs
  • Verify proofs in at least one target environment (CLI, browser, mobile, service, or on-chain via recursive verifier)
