Friday, 4pm, New York. The closing bell rings and every stock price in the country freezes until Monday. On-chain, nothing stops. The tokenized stocks trades straight through the weekend, priced off a reference that has not updated in two days. Anyone can see the gap, and almost nobody has built anything that acts on it.
That is most of this asset class right now. Tokenized equities landed on-chain faster than the tooling did, so the agents, baskets, rebalancers and onboarding flows that will decide how people actually trade them mostly have not been written yet. Whoever writes them first sets the standard, and the bar is high: this is the first asset class where your on-chain product goes head to head with a Web2 product people already use and already like.
BNB Chain and Binance Web3 Wallet are putting $20,000 behind whoever takes it on. Four and a half weeks, one track, and the full stack to do it with.
What You Get
| One aggregated API surface | Market data, RWA data, swap routing, transaction simulation, wallet state and DeFi positions, through a single integration. |
| Free API access | Free for the duration of the event, with elevated rate limits if you need (register to the hack to get it). |
| Workshop and mentoring | A workshop session during the build window, plus mentoring from the BNB Chain and Binance Web3 Wallet teams. |
| 24/7 support | Questions answered in the builder Telegram group, which is also where you find teammates. |
| A route beyond the prize | Winner spotlights on X and bnbchain.org, plus Kickstart Package eligibility for top projects. |

Beyond the Cash
- Free API access during the event, with elevated rate limits if you need.
- A mentor for every finalist team, from across both partners.

- Winner spotlights on X and bnbchain.org.
Main Track: Tokenized Stocks Products & Agents
Build something people would actually use with tokenized stocks on BSC.
An autonomous agent, a trading interface, a portfolio tool, a dashboard, a Telegram bot, an MCP server, an SDK: attack it from whatever angle suits you. The deliverable is a working project, not a deck. Agents are welcome and expected, and are scored on how well they are built rather than on the PnL they could print, we don't track it for this edition.
The Rules of the Track
- At least one of bStocks, Ondo or xStocks has to be central to what you submit.
- Cross-asset products are in scope, including pairing a tokenized equity leg with crypto or stablecoins.
- Spot only. Perps are out.
- BSC mainnet only. Dry-run with the Transaction API while you build, then demo with small live amounts. Teams fund their own wallets, and a few dollars is enough to prove the flow works.
The Stack
| Component | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| RWA Data API | The tokenized stocks layer: token and platform lists, on-chain price against the underlying reference price, search by ticker, company profile with attestation reports, market status and next open time, sector filters (Magnificent 7, AI Chips, ETF, Buffett Portfolio). |
| Market API | Real-time prices, candlesticks and token analytics across tokenized equities and crypto pairs. The research and signal layer. |
| Trading API | Cross-DEX aggregated quotes, swaps and approvals, with built-in MEV protection. |
| Transaction API | On-chain simulation and broadcasting, so you can dry-run every call before you commit real funds. |
| Wallet API | Balances, positions and portfolio state across chains. |
| DeFi API | Protocol information, TVL, APY rankings and on-chain positions, plus unsigned calldata for deposit, redeem and LP across BSC DeFi. |
| b402 Payments | Pay-per-call payments, for agents that buy data or inference from other agents. |
| Agentic Wallet / Wallet Skills | The AI execution layer. Optional, heavily weighted in scoring and tied to a special prize. |
| BNB Agent Studio | One-prompt deployment of a persistent on-chain agent: wallet provisioning, ERC-8004 identity, ERC-8183 task interface and managed cloud runtime, with the MCP server auto-registered into Cursor or Claude Code. Optional, tied to a special prize. |
| BNB Chain | Execution venue: PancakeSwap and BSC tokenized-equity liquidity. |
Combining API modules in a way that looks like it should not work but does is exactly what we are hoping to see.
Ideas to Build
| Build | What it does |
|---|---|
| Natural-language strategy agent | Reads a strategy in plain English ("rotate into defensives when volatility spikes"), then writes and executes the rules itself. |
| Market-hours arbitrage | Tokenized equities trade around the clock while the underlying market is shut. |
| Cross-protocol arbitrage | Prices the gap between two representations of the same underlying, for example bStocks against Ondo. |
| On-chain vs reference price monitor | The RWA Data API returns both prices. Track the spread and act on it. |
| Auto-DCA and rebalancing | Buys into a tokenized stock basket on a schedule, rebalances on drift thresholds. |
| Earnings-calendar agent | Positions ahead of scheduled events and flattens afterwards. |
| TradFi-crypto portfolio agent | Holds a target equity/crypto ratio and rebalances as correlation shifts. |
| "Buy your first stock on-chain" | Card to tokenized equity in under a minute, no seed phrase in sight. |
| One-tap thematic baskets | AI, semis, energy, with transparent on-chain composition. |
| MCP server or SDK wrapper | Makes the Binance Web3 API one-line callable from any agent framework, or straight from Agent Studio. |
What to Submit
1. Your Project
A working project built on one or more Binance Web3 API modules, and optionally Agentic Wallet or Wallet Skills.
- A public repository.
- A demo video, four minutes or less (strongly recommended but optional)
- A deployed link, or instructions a judge can follow.
2. A Developer Experience Report
Most hackathons do not ask for one. This one does, and it is worth a quarter of your score.
| What we want to know | |
|---|---|
| Onboarding | How long from opening the docs to your first successful API call, and where you got stuck. |
| Documentation issues | Which page had the error, and where on it. Vague feedback does not count. |
| API pitfalls | Error messages that made no sense, edge cases that bit you, latency. Be specific. |
| AI stack feedback | Did you use Wallet Skills, Agentic Wallet or the CLI? What worked, what did not, what is missing. |
| Tokenized-stock specifics | Liquidity depth, slippage, behaviour outside traditional market hours, the gap between on-chain and reference price, and how the bStocks, Ondo and xStocks versions of the same thing differ in practice. |
| Redesign suggestions | If you were the engineer behind the developer platform, how would you rebuild it so someone can make a call the moment they land? |
| Requested capabilities | Endpoints, SDK support, features or tooling you want added. |
Perfunctory or AI-generated reports are not accepted, the goal is for us to see what worked or not so we won't be able to do anything if you generate this. AI-assisted code is completely fine.
How You're Judged
Scores are pooled after each judge has worked through every project on their own.
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Technical implementation | 30% | Does it run, and how deep does the integration go? Modules used, error handling, how it holds up. |
| Creativity & originality | 25% | Were the APIs used in ways nobody expected? Does this already exist five times over? |
| Developer Experience Report | 25% | Specific, actionable, honest, no fluff. Includes the AI stack section. |
| Product quality & UX | 20% | Is it usable by the people it is for? Would it bring non-crypto-native users on-chain? |
