The Agent Arena Hackathon has officially concluded, and the results are in. For one month, university students and recent graduates from around the world came together to push the boundaries of on-chain AI agents using IQAI's ADK-TS framework and OpenMind's OM1 platform, with projects ultimately launched as live agents on IQAI’s Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP).
We had 144 builders participate, 44 projects submitted, and 24 entries made it to the final judging round. Hosted in collaboration with OpenMind and EwhaChain, this global virtual hackathon challenged university builders to develop innovative AI agents that integrate AI and blockchain technology.
Here are the teams taking home prizes for their exceptional work, showcasing innovation and technical excellence that inspire future participants.
Main Track Winners
Three outstanding projects stood out for their innovation, technical implementation, and real-world impact.
🥇 First Place: Rogue
Winner: Rogue by @ThinhDinh1706
Prize: $3,000
An autonomous crypto trading oracle built as a sophisticated multi-agent swarm. Rogue operates 24/7, scanning global markets and executing trades on Hyperliquid. The system features 10+ specialized agents working in coordination, pulling from 30+ data sources including CoinGecko, Birdeye, DeFi Llama, and Binance Futures. What makes Rogue exceptional is its comprehensive approach that combines real-time social sentiment analysis from X (Twitter), on-chain analytics tracking whale movements, and advanced technical analysis using 2025 Meta indicators.
Built on IQAI's ADK-TS framework, Rogue demonstrates the power of multi-agent orchestration through strict risk-management protocols. The platform features a professional React dashboard, voice AI interface through VAPI, autonomous futures trading with LONG/SHORT positions, and a tiered access system. With 25+ custom tools showcasing ADK-TS's extensibility, Rogue proves that university builders can create production-ready trading systems.
Notably, Rogue went beyond the hackathon requirements by fully integrating its agent token ($RGE) into the platform's functionality. The $RGE token, launched on IQAI's Agent Tokenization Platform, powers a tiered-access system in which holders receive prioritized trading signals and exclusive features based on their token holdings, demonstrating a practical use case for agent tokenization in real-world applications.

🥈 Second Place: Athenea
Winner: Athenea by Edwin Isaac
Prize: $2,000
An AI-powered financial freedom agent designed to help women in dangerous situations achieve independence and escape safely. Athena combines custodial blockchain wallets, immutable IPFS evidence storage, and an empathetic AI companion powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Flash. Built on Fraxtal L2, the system operates in total stealth with a calculator disguise, includes quick-escape functions, and requires zero crypto knowledge from users.
The platform's evidence locker stores photos, audio, videos, and text notes permanently on IPFS with blockchain timestamps for court-admissible proof. Athena includes an emergency SOS protocol that transfers all funds to a trusted contact while wiping local data, and all actions are logged to the IQAI ATP Dashboard using pseudonymized messages for transparency. The project addresses a critical need where financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases.
Athenea was also successfully launched on IQAI’s Agent Tokenization Platform, making it a verifiable, on-chain AI agent rather than a standalone application. The ATP deployment provides transparency into agent activity while preserving user privacy through pseudonymized messaging.

🥉 Third Place: CryptoInsight AI
Winner: CryptoInsight AI by @minh_quang28278
Prize: $1,000
A comprehensive cryptocurrency analysis platform combining AI with real-time blockchain data through five specialized agents: Market Agent (analysis), Portfolio Agent (tracking), Transaction Agent (Web3 execution), Vision Agent (chart analysis), and Chat Agent (natural language interface). The platform fetches live data from CoinGecko, Binance, and Alternative.me to provide market sentiment, long/short ratios, tokenomics breakdowns, and technical analysis through an intuitive conversational interface.
Built on ADK-TS with structured output validation using Zod schemas, intelligent caching that reduces API costs by 60%+, and multi-user session management, Crypto Insight AI showcases production-ready agent architecture. The platform features an embedded TradingView chart with full drawing tools, interactive dashboards with real-time visualizations, and Web3 transaction assistance through MetaMask integration—demonstrating how ADK-TS enables building comprehensive trading and analysis tools.

MVP Awards
IQAI MVP
Winner: ResearchOS by @WhyParabola
Prize: $500
An autonomous research copilot that demonstrates AI agents can excel beyond Web3 and blockchain use cases. ResearchOS uses multi-agent orchestration to search, analyze, and synthesize academic papers across sources like arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and PubMed. The platform solves research overload by automating literature reviews that traditionally take weeks or months, completing them in minutes through specialized agents: Planner Agent (strategy), Search Agent (paper discovery), Synthesis Agent (analysis), Report Writer Agent (generation), and Q&A Agent (RAG-powered chat).
Built with ADK-TS and featuring RAG-powered conversational interfaces with vector-based semantic search using Weaviate, ResearchOS showcases how agent frameworks can transform knowledge work across any domain. The project earned the IQAI MVP award for demonstrating the versatility of agent-based systems beyond cryptocurrency and DeFi applications.

OpenMind MVP
Due to limited submissions in the OM1 track, no OpenMind MVP award will be distributed for this hackathon.
What's Next
We will reach out to all the winners over the next few days with instructions on how to claim their prizes. Keep an eye on your DoraHacks notifications and join our Telegram channel and Discord community for updates.
For promising projects that demonstrated exceptional innovation and technical capability, the IQAI team may reach out separately to discuss potential sponsorship opportunities, technical support, or further development collaboration.
Special Recognition
While not all projects could win prizes, many teams successfully launched functional agents on ATP, demonstrating impressive innovation across DeFi automation, social impact tooling, and risk-managed AI systems. The technical quality and ambition shown by university students globally reinforce the strength of the next generation of blockchain builders.
We’re running a spotlight series on X to showcase agents launched on the IQAI Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) during the Agent Arena hackathon. Follow us @iqaicom to see the featured projects and learn more about the innovative solutions built during Agent Arena.
