Automated hackathon builder for completing hackathon bounties using Cursor IDE, and collecting rewards on base using AgentKit
Prize Pool
Based Hackamatic is an AI agent built with Coinbase's AgentKit framework that participates in hackathons and manages its own funds. The agent will compete in Base and Coinbase tracks at Ethglobal hackathons, collecting prize money to fund future participations. Through this self-funding mechanism, the agent will continuously participate in hackathons, improving its capabilities and growing its fund pool over time.
The system is built on AgentKit framework with three main components working together:
The Agent System forms the core, handling project development and human interactions. It uses LLM integration for code generation and project development, while providing an interface for humans to handle hackathon registration and key decisions.
The Wallet Management system handles all financial operations through CDP MPC Wallet implementation. It manages prize collection, fund handling through Coinbase, and maintains transaction records.
The original Hackamatic repository contains a set of cursor rules and templates used for coding the Based Hackamatic using the Cursor IDE.
The agent can accumulate the Hackathon prizes and pay for the AI inference on Base using Venice tokens (VVV).
