The Smart Money Era is here, where knowing the right people no longer gates access to financial opportunities. Keep up with the next generation of finance by having the right agents available on-demand to service any market 24/7.

Finding agents on BNB Chain today is harder than it should be, we want you to help us make opportunities more discoverable and accessible to all by building the marketplace for BNB Chain’s AI agents, the new home for smart money.

Main Track Prize

🥇 Winner: $30,000 equivalent, plus official adoption as the BNB Agent Studio marketplace, the canonical front door for every agent on BSC.

Partner Bounties

Partner bounties are judged independently by each partner, on their own criteria.

Best Built with Altana

🏆 50,000 Altana XP. Winner takes all, awarded to one team. (Allocation mechanics to be confirmed.)

To be considered for the prize, your submission must show live onchain transactions in the Altana explorer, on testnet or mainnet. See the Tracks tab for the full qualification criteria, and make sure to include your wallet address(es) in your submission.

TermiX Challenge

Judged independently by TermiX on its own criteria (see the Tracks tab). Submissions must include the required Agent Advantage Report to be eligible.

PancakeSwap Challenge

🏆 1,000 CAKE for the best submission delivering a real benefit to PancakeSwap traders or liquidity providers (see the Tracks tab for the challenge details).

Main Track: Build the BNB Agent Studio Marketplace

Build the best agent marketplace for BNB Chain.

Somewhere, users need to find agents, understand what they do, and hire them in a few clicks. Right now that place doesn't exist. So: build it.

The top submission gets officially adopted as the BNB Agent Studio marketplace, the canonical front door for every agent on BSC. This isn't a demo day. Whatever you ship here is what real users interact with next.

What You're Building

A front end that surfaces agent data, lets users discover and activate agents by category, and doesn't make them think too hard about it.

Four categories, all first-class:

Single-category submissions score poorly. All four, equally deep, is the bar.

How You're Judged

Three judges, scored independently, then compared.

We'all also assess more criterias in the second phase, stay tuned to find out!

Timeline

1. Build: NOW!
2. Shortlist: Submissions close and the top 3 are shortlisted publicly.
3. Phase 2: [REDACTED]
4. Winner announced

Tooling

Describe it, and Cursor scaffolds it against the BNB Agent Studio CLI. No blockchain experience required to get from idea to deployed agent. Agent Studio runs on AWS underneath; that's just how it works, not a separate track to build for.

Eligibility

• Open globally, to individuals or teams.
• One entry per team.
• Your submission must be functional and publicly accessible during judging.
• Agents surfaced on your marketplace must be live on BSC.

Partner Track: Best Built with Altana

Altana is self-custodial infrastructure for sovereign agents. An agent holds its own wallet and its own key: no custodian, no shared treasury, no human signing every transaction. The owner grants a scoped session (which calls the agent may make, how much it may spend, when the permission expires), and grant and revoke stay with the owner. Every session key is registered in a public onchain registry, so any app or agent can check which keys hold authority on a wallet and when that authority expires. Revocation is one transaction and takes effect immediately.

The track: build an agent marketplace on BNB Chain where the agents transact for themselves, inside limits their users set.

What Separates a Winner from a Participant

To be considered for the prize, your submission must show live onchain transactions in the Altana explorer (testnet or mainnet).

• Agents on their own Altana wallets.
• Sessions with real limits: call allowlist, spend cap, expiry.
• Sessions registered in Keystore, so integration is read onchain rather than from the pitch.
• Real onchain transactions through a session key. Testnet counts, mainnet is stronger.
• User-facing control: a user can see what their agent may do, and revoke it, inside the product.

Bonus:

• Hire BNB Agent Studio agents through ERC-8183 using the Altana ERC-8183 SDK. Altana ships both the buyer side and the seller side.
• Implement sell over x402/B402 using the x402 server SDK.

Ideas to Build

Partner Track: TermiX Challenge

What TermiX is judging, in one line: does hiring an agent on this marketplace actually beat doing the job yourself, and can you prove it with numbers?

You are not asked to integrate anything with TermiX. The submission is the marketplace itself, judged on whether the agents on it are genuinely worth paying for. TermiX will hire from your marketplace themselves and see what comes back.

How You're Judged

TermiX scores independently of the main track rubric.

Required: Agent Advantage Report

Your submission must include an Agent Advantage Report:

1. At least 3 real tasks run both ways: with an agent hired through your marketplace vs. without.
2. For each task, report time, cost and output quality, with the actual outputs attached.
3. At least one task must come from trading, stock or security.

The "Proven agent advantage" criterion (30%) is scored against this report, so plan for it from day one.

Partner Challenge: PancakeSwap

Your agent must deliver a real benefit to PancakeSwap traders or liquidity providers. For example: smarter liquidity management, finding better yields, researching market movements to find demand where creating PancakeSwap pools could improve liquidity efficiency, or executing safe automated swaps using PancakeSwap products without ever putting user funds at risk.
