Hack DeFAI like it means something.
On June 15–16, join us at w3.hub** for 24 hours of focused, irreverent, and community-driven AI x blockchain hacking.
At Agents Without Masters, we’re calling on builders, researchers, weirdos, and wanderers to create autonomous agents that actually do something. Not just talk — act.
We're here to ship DeFAI agents with real-world utility, speed, and backbone.
💸 $10,000 in bounties
🛠️ Quickstart templates & hands-on guidance
🚀 Post-hackathon rewards & GTM support
Organized by NEAR Foundation & Hackbox.**

## Who It's For
- AI-curious builders and blockchain developers of all levels
- First-time hackers welcome
- If you’ve ever thought “this needs to be done by an agent” — this hackathon is for you
***
## What You’ll Build
✅ Autonomous agents that interact with NEAR or adjacent tools (tech stack guidance will be available)
✅ Projects that include AI components — LLMs, models, or frameworks
✅ Public GitHub repos. No black boxes.
No prior experience with NEAR or AI needed — we’ll help you ship something solid by dawn.
