🏆 TON AI Agent Hackathon: Winners

Two weeks. 160+ submissions. An incredible amount of talent and execution from the community. This was the first major AI Agent competition on TON, and the quality exceeded every expectation. Builders showed up and delivered.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10,000)

Three winners, $3,333 each. These projects create reusable primitives and infrastructure that the entire TON agent ecosystem can build on.

🏅Imago ($3,333): LLM inference marketplace on TON with Cocoon TEE integration
🏅Catallaxy ($3,333): Decentralized agent marketplace with HTTP 402 payment protocol
🏅ENACT Protocol ($3,333): Trustless escrow for AI agent commerce

Track 2: User-Facing Agents ($10,000 + $5,000 additional prizes)

After listening to community feedback, we expanded this track to recognize both sides of what the hackathon was meant to reward: technical ambition and originality, alongside teams that delivered functional, ready-to-use projects.

🥇MyTonWallet AI Crypto Agent ($5,000): The first native AI agent inside a TON wallet. World-class product, seamless integration.
🥈TON Steward ($3,000): AI agent for fundraising in Telegram.
🥉EIVA ($2,000): A creative take on personal AI agents with TON-native identity.
🏅TON Agent Platform ($3,000): No-code platform for creation of AI agents.
🏅Tonpixio ($2,000): TON blockchain analytics agent

☝️All participants, make sure your reward wallet is connected in your Identity Hub settings under the Wallets section. Rewards and badges will be distributed tomorrow.

Not being selected does not mean your project is not valuable. We saw incredible work from dozens of teams, and many strong submissions pushed the boundaries of agent infrastructure, use cases, and developer tooling. It was genuinely hard to pick winners.

Keep building

TON AI Agent Hackathon is here!

$20,000. Two tracks. Two weeks.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10K)

Build tooling and primitives that help power the next generation of AI applications on TON. This can include wallet integrations, agent coordination, payment flows, developer tools, and other core infrastructure.

Track 2: User facing Agents ($10K)

Build AI agents that users can interact with directly inside Telegram. This can include commerce agents, payment bots, assistants, trading tools, automation products, and other practical AI-powered experiences. These agents can be both user-facing products and part of agent-to-agent interactions on TON, including payments, coordination, and trust.

This is a much bigger shift than just one hackathon.

A new stack is emerging
• Telegram is the interaction and distribution laye
• AI is the execution engine.
• TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.

BotFather MAU grew from 3.5M to 7.4M after AI agents started taking off on Telegram. Developers are already moving. Now it’s time to join the best builders on TON.

Hackathon dates: March 11-25
