TL;DR

• Good Vibes Only returns with the OpenClaw Edition, a fully online AI vibe coding sprint with a $100,000 prize pool.
• Build fast using AI, but prove it onchain with real transactions, demos, and reproducible code.
• This edition introduces updated submission requirements to make judging clearer and the build experience smoother.

Good Vibes Only: OpenClaw Edition is a fully online, AI-first vibe coding sprint where builders ship real products, prove execution onchain, and compete for a $100,000 prize pool.

OpenClaw is an open framework for building autonomous, AI-powered applications that can act, transact, and evolve onchain. This edition encourages builders to explore what’s possible when autonomy and onchain execution come together.

Open to builders, designers, founders, and idea starters. You don’t need to be an experienced engineer to take part. If it runs and executes onchain, it counts. Community-nominated ideas become official prompts, and builders choose which ones to build.

If it runs, ships, and executes onchain, it counts.

Open to Builders and Idea Starters

You don’t need to be an experienced engineer to participate.

Builders, designers, founders, and product thinkers are all welcome. Community members can also nominate ideas they want to see built using AI on BNB Chain. This edition continues the build-in-public spirit of Good Vibes Only, allowing builders to choose which approved ideas they want to take on.

The best ideas often come from users who know exactly what’s missing in the ecosystem.

How It Works

OpenClaw Edition introduces updated submission requirements to ensure projects are easier to verify, reproduce, and evaluate fairly.

Key Details

• Duration: 14 days, fully online
• Platform: DoraHacks
• AI encouraged: Use any AI tools that help you ship faster: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.
• Onchain proof required: Contract address or transaction hash on BSC or opBNB
• Reproducible submissions: Public repo, demo link, and setup instructions
• AI Build Log bonus: Extra recognition for clearly showing how AI was used

If it can’t be verified onchain or reproduced, it won’t qualify.

Tracks

Projects can be submitted under one of the following tracks, continuing the multi-track format introduced in earlier Good Vibes Only editions:

Agent (AI Agent x Onchain Actions)

Build AI agents that don't just write code but execute on-chain. Security assistants, trading bots, treasury managers, on-chain ops automation.

DeFi 

Practical DeFi tools: yield dashboards, strategy builders, risk monitors, liquidation alerts. Usable, reproducible, no token required.

Consumer

Mass-friendly onchain mini apps. Games with onchain achievements, social check-ins, event tools, creator platforms. If a normie can understand it in under a minute, you're on the right track.

Builders

Tools that help other developers ship faster. Scaffolding, monitoring, testing, security scanners. If it makes building on BNB Chain easier, we want to see it.

Open (No Restrictions)

Doesn't fit the other tracks? Build it anyway. 

The only requirement is meeting the basic submission criteria. 

The community can contribute their ideas to the official BNB GitHub repository, which has guidelines for the format of contributing ideas. The best ideas will then be approved by the BNB Chain team and the person who contributes the idea will receive credit, indicating that they were the one who proposed it.

Prizes

OpenClaw Edition features a $100,000 total prize pool, distributed across 10 winners.

Selected projects will be showcased during a live finale and highlighted across the BNB Chain ecosystem.

Submission Criteria

To improve clarity and fairness in judging, OpenClaw Edition applies the following submission criteria:

• Onchain proof required: Contract address or tx hash on BSC or opBNB
• Must be reproducible: Demo link + repo or clear reproduction instructions
• No token launches during the event: No fundraising, liquidity opening, or airdrop-driven pumping until results are announced. Violations lead to disqualification.
• AI encouraged, not required: Use any AI tools you want. Not using AI won't affect eligibility.

If any or all of the above are not followed, it may result in disqualification/non-valid submission.

Judging

Final results in Good Vibes Only: OpenClaw Edition are decided through a balanced split between =community signal and ecosystem expertise.

• 40% of the final score comes from community voting on DoraHacks.
• 60% comes from judges with relevant ecosystem context.

Community Voting

Community voting takes place directly on the DoraHacks platform, with voters upvoting their favorite projects on the “Hackers” page. This helps ensure voting is transparent and based on informed participation.

Community scores are combined with sponsor judge evaluations to determine the final results, balancing broad feedback with ecosystem expertise.
