Scoop AI Hackathon Series

The Scoop AI Hackathon is a global initiative organized by Neo and SpoonOS to explore how AI and Web3 technologies can enable a “sentient economy” – a decentralized system driven by autonomous agents, transparency, and trustless execution. The Tokyo event follows recent stops in Moscow, Hanoi, London, Silicon Valley, and Seoul, with upcoming bowls planned in Hyderabad and Beijing.

The series offers a total prize pool of US $100,000, with each city presenting its own structure, challenge tracks, and awards. Participants can find event guidelines, SDKs, TestNet information, and more in the official Scoop AI Hackathon Handbook.
