FLock.io was delighted by what participants built using our Web3 Foundation Model at the UK AI Agent Hackathon. Hosted by Imperial College London, it was Europe’s largest university-led agentic AI hackathon.
It was great to showcase how our decentralised models can be leveraged to build real-world applications. From automated investment assistants to smart productivity tools, hackers had the freedom to create retail-ready AI-powered apps. We granted participants access to our library of trained models and are offering long-term ecosystem support to scale their projects.
Unlike traditional hackathons, the flexible month-long format let everyone work at their own pace – no need for sleepless nights. We were wildly impressed on demo day on April 13. It yielded fantastic projects from 8 teams competing for our $10,000 total prize pool bounty. Our judging criteria were usability, innovation, AI performance, and market viability.
A huge congratulations to our winners:
🥇NovaChat-V2 - $3,000
🥈Aetheria - $2,000
🥉Crypto QR Wizard - $1,000
🥉MeSu AI - $1,000
NovachatV2 is an AI-powered chat interface that makes blockchain interactions accessible through natural language. By combining advanced language models with specialized Web3 knowledge, NovachatV2 allows users to perform blockchain operations, check balances, and learn about crypto concepts through simple conversation. See the demo here.
Aetheria generates custom NFTs based on your wallet age, transactions, balances and more. It is a gamified and educational Web3 experience with traversable map and quests, and an informative and educational AI agent wizard NPC.
Crypto QR Wizard transforms complex cryptocurrency transactions into user-friendly QR codes through natural language processing. Users simply describe what they want ("Send 0.05 ETH to this address with a blue theme"), and our application leverages the Flock Web3 Agent Model to generate customized, transaction-ready QR codes that work with popular crypto wallets. Demo here.
MeSu AI is an AI/Web3 bridge linking global Gen Z fanfiction communities and global brands. This way, people will be able to create their own fiction and read it, share it with the community, and create character images and story scenes. Demo here.
FLock was a hackathon sponsor alongside Fetch.ai, Olas, Venice.ai, Torus, Levia, ACI.dev, RockawayX, Assisterr, Edu.Chain and Imperial Blockchain. It was a great opportunity for participants to get noticed by VCs, startups, and top media outlets. They benefited from expert mentorship from AI and blockchain pioneers such as FLock.
