BGIN Agent Hack at Block 13
Your Challenge: Automate Blockchain Standardization with an AI Agent. The winner is invited to the next BGIN's meeting in Japan!
About the Challenge
Standards organizations like BGIN handle a massive volume of technical documents, complex policies, and discussions among diverse stakeholders every day. Building consensus takes an enormous amount of time, and critical information can often get buried.
What if we had specialized AI assistants capable of understanding these processes and supporting their human counterparts?
Your mission in this hackathon is to observe the real-world discussions at BGIN and implement a practical use case for an AI agent that transforms static governance documents and debates into dynamic "governance intelligence." Join us on the front lines of standardization and use your technical skills to create the future of governance.
What to Build
You won't be starting from scratch. We will provide the "BGIN AI Multi-Agent Framework" for you to build upon.
This framework includes the following three AI agents, each with a distinct role:
Archive Agent: The Knowledge & Information System
Reads vast amounts of documents to perform searches and synthesize information.
Codex Agent: The Policy & Standards System
Analyzes rules and standards to check if proposals conflict with existing policies.
Discourse Agent: The Communication System
Facilitates community discussions and helps build consensus.
Schedule
This is a hybrid hackathon held as an official side event of the BGIN Block 13 conference, hosted at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.
Wednesday, October 15th: Kick-off & Ideation
Thursday, October 16th: Hacking Day
Friday, October 17th: Presentations & Closing
What to Submit
By the end of the hackathon, please submit the following items:
1. Source Code
- A link to your GitHub repository containing the source code for your project
- The README.md file must include a project overview and instructions on how to run it
2. Presentation Deck
A brief slide deck explaining your project. It should include the following:
- Team Introduction
- The Problem/Use Case (How does it help BGIN?)
- Solution Overview & Architecture
Judging Criteria
Impact to BGIN
How well does it solve a real and valuable problem for BGIN or the broader standardization process? How valuable is it to BGIN?
