AI and Ethereum make it possible for on-chain solutions to replace YC and incubators.
Several reasons:
1. Manus is struggling due to benchmark deals (non-USD assets are increasingly difficult to go global).
2. Most AI project directions have changed several times, and VCs still haven't signed SPAs (the production relationships are lagging behind).
3. The alpha of AI is currently only in large companies and individual entrepreneurs (the venture-driven investment model is no longer applicable).
4. The genius bill + project crypto allows USD assets to go on-chain (unprecedented policy benefits).
5. The fair launch on-chain and building in public perfectly align with AI projects' demands for seed-strapping.
Stop treating @virtual_io as an AI meme launchpad, because changes happen quickly, and we work quickly.
Introducing the Ethereum is for AI Hackathon, organized by Virtuals Protocol with strategic support from the Ethereum Foundation Founder Success program. $100,000 in prizes for the most advanced AI agent deployments.
AI agents are positioned to become Ethereum’s most demanding and valuable power users, reasoning, transacting, and operating autonomously, with @ethereum as their trustless settlement layer. This is the foundation of the next era of onchain intelligence.
From Robotics to DePIN, privacy, consumer AI, DeFAI, and research, the hackathon is designed to accelerate specialized agents into sovereign, self-sustaining economies.
As part of this initiative, five technical workshops led by Virtuals Protocol and the @ethereumfndn will cover advanced architectures, deployment strategies, and scaling pathways for AI-native systems.
Build on Ethereum. Launch on Virtuals. Secure funding, prizes, and recognition from the most advanced agent ecosystem in the market.
Ethereum is ready for AI.
Will you be the one to build it?
