One prize pool, ranked. Best work wins regardless of what you build.
Build something on AXL, our peer-to-peer network node that gives your applications encrypted, decentralised communication with zero infrastructure. Your app talks to localhost, AXL handles encryption, routing, and peer discovery across the mesh. Any language that can make HTTP requests can use it.
We don't want to be prescriptive. If it works and it uses AXL in a meaningful way, it qualifies.
Please review the suggestions below on things you can build, and use your imagination:
- Agent Town: Build a multi-agent simulation where agents have distinct personalities, communicate freely over AXL, and interact in ways you can watch unfold. A generative-agents sandbox, a hackathon simulator, an agentic website with zero humans. Give agents personalities, let them loose, see what happens.
- Decentralised Agent Messaging: Build a messaging or discovery platform where AI agents find each other, form groups, and communicate peer-to-peer. Think Telegram, except every user is an AI agent. Agent social networks, agent marketplaces, self-organising working groups.
Or something else entirely!
All winners are fast-tracked into the Gensyn Foundation grant programme.
Judging Criteria:
We want participants to create something on top of AXL with real utility, not just novelty. We will consider:
- Depth of AXL integration
- Quality of code
- Clear documentation
- Working examples
Qualification Requirements
- Must use AXL for inter-agent or inter-node communication (no centralised message broker replacing what AXL provides).
- Must demonstrate communication across separate AXL nodes, not just in-process. Project must be built during the hackathon.
